The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

No one loves Christmas as much as I do.  And this year you could really feel the love.  Expecting a new grandbaby adds a whole new dimension! Everyone is so excited about Baby A.

 

Melissa is due in February, and we couldn't be more pleased.

 

 

Amanda and Valerie are such sweet and lovable granddaughters.  No wonder we can't wait for another grandchild!

 

 

Grandkids, Maddie and Reese are a delight! They love every part of Christmas, and it's fun just being around them.

 

 

So blessed to have found this man to share my life with.  He has added so much joy to my life.

 

 

 

 

Moments from Christmases past.  Maddie in her first Christmas performance (preschool).  Scott and Kim and their girls the first Christmas we celebrated together, and cute little Reese, who loves hats!

 

Remembering also, our dear friend Marian who spent many Christmases with us.

 

A surprise for Baby A.  A dowel tree made by his Dad, and his Grandfather, Dave.

This Christmas was so special in so many ways.

 

 

 

 

Duck Hunting 2014

Duck hunting has always been Duane's passion, but this year there was an added attraction.....

His son Scott has become a bona fide duck hunter!  Scott took to it like "a duck to water"---WooHoo!

 

In addition to hunting at Duane's Duck Club, the boys also took a boat duck hunting expedition.

 

 

So Scott has added Havasu National Wildlife Refuge to his hunting experiences.

 

 

Thanks to Paul for bringing his great boat blind.

 

          Navigating could be somewhat difficult with underwater trees and the like.

 

But, once they were in place, they were completely camouflaged.

 

 

Duane loved every minute!

 

 

Scott joined Pat and George McGuire in their boat for a while.

 

 

A good time was had by all!

 

 

Way to go, Scott!
