 and Ethan.

It was great to have my mom, sister, and niece come from Arizona.

The weather was warm and we spent a lot of time outdoors.

 A week later, I went on a trip to Arizona.

 I met the twins, (Sarabeth is holding Zachary, I'm in the background with Natalie)

and went to my nieces baby shower.
We finished November by celebrating Christina and Danny's new home purchase

and Thanksgiving.
 I have much to be thankful for.

December began with an unexpected visit from Lauren and Ivydee. 

Lauren's grandmother passed away, leaving Ivydee with only 2 great grandmothers.

We then spent a week in Arizona with family. My sister-in-law is cancer free and we attended her daughter's wedding while there. It was quite a celebration.

Danny and Christina hosted Christmas this year.  

What a blessing to stay overnight in their home and watch Ethan open presents.

We ended the year with a tribute birthday for Michael's 60th birthday. 

We laughed

We cried

We toasted

 We kissed

Happy New Year!

Truthfully,

Joanne
