Christmas 2009

What a wonderful Christmas with all of the children and grandchildren! Everyone arrived on the 24th and were able to stay through the weekend. We had a beautiful snow. On Christmas eve the kids delivered the annual cheeseballs to our friends and neighbors. We enjoyed our Christmas eve dinner and attended services at church. After the service we went to the annual Christmas Eve party at the Perry's. Before bed the girls and I made the breakfast casserole and cinnamon pull apart. Of course Jeana and Jill had new Christmas pj's to wear! Christmas day was spent opening packages eating lunch and enjoying the day. On Saturday we were snowed in and had to wait until Sunday to go to Emporia. Saturday night we had fun doing a little karaoke with Brad's Band Hero. A whole new experience for Jeff & me.

Birthday Celebration!

We celebrated my 60th Birthday on Sunday with a dinner at our house. The dinner was catered by Larkspur Restaurant and the chef prepared it in our kitchen. A great evening with good friends and good food!



Our guests were John & Nancy Brammer, Francie & Bill Copeland, Bob & Bunny Broeckelman, Greg & Susan Wilhite and Rich & Marcia Smola.
















The menu of Salmon and Duck Foie Mousse Pate appetizer, Beef Tenderloin, Salad and Creme Brule in a chocolate lined cup was wonderful!
