Abraham's 25th BIRTHDAY!

Our family togetherness began on the 16th of December...

Abe and Annie with their PRECIOUS BABY GIRL TWINS...

Madison and McKenzie...

arrived to spend a few days with us, before they

left to spend the CHRISTMAS week with

Annie's family...

They had a "Egley" FAMILY REUNION...

(we all know...how hard it is to get our families together at ONE TIME - so this was a major event for them... )

We got to celebrate Abe's 25th BIRTHDAY!

Happy 1/4 CENTURY BIRTHDAY!

Sunday Morning - 18th December

All ready for CHURCH!

"Biscuits and Gravy"

Began with Roxanne Ingalls making this

NO COMMENT on Abe's "sassy face"!

 Birthday Morning

Annie with Madison and McKenzie

McKenzie and Abe

Already being trained on the computer

McKenzie talking to Madison

 Abe wanted "T-Bone" in STEAK FORM

for his BIRTHDAY DINNER!

Garvin added to "tools" to his new

"tool box" that Annie got him!

Annie make Abe a BIRTHDAY CAKE!

Chocolate with "Cookie's and Cream PUDDING" for frosting

and then added CRUMBLED "Oreo" cookies on top!

FANTASTIC!

Abe thinking...

before blowing out his candles!

Madison celebrating "Daddy's" birthday, also!

MISCELLANEOUS PICTURES

 McKenzie SMILING Sunday Morning!

Another CUTE picture of McKenzie!

Hyrum and his new MISSION CAMERA!

Ah...how to put babies to SLEEP!

Lay them on comfy couch...

 Cuddled up on Mama's arms...

Though, it seems to work on Mama, too!

McKenzie being "rocked" while daddy enjoys the computer...

Or...being sung to while in the bath water...

Abe and Annie sing to the girls while they are taking a bath...

Wonder if the warm water or "daddy's" singing...

is what put Madison to sleep...

(smile)

A Joslyn Christmas

I didn't want to take up the whole page with my pictures so these are only a very few of the very many.

A Calvin and Hobbes Kind of Christmas

For all the Calvin and Hobbes lovers in my family.

I'm sure you remember a similar comic strip.



If only we could do that to all the snow.

Some Truths...

 It's genetic Sarah and I got it from Grandma Bonnie & Grandma Patricia

 So TRUE! I still cry!

Need I say more?

And this made me laugh!

Do You Have Room?

Tis the Season....Thanksgiving...

I have been thinking that I need to post our Thanksgiving 

before CHRISTMAS arrives...(smile)

It was a simple and overall

restful day...

I LOVE the "Fall" colors of Thanksgiving

They are BRIGHT and FESTIVE!

Our "22" lb. Turkey

with the herbs that I grew and dried from

our very own GARDEN!

(smile)

It was such a BEAUTIFUL "Fall" Day...

Even the birds were out

and enjoying the day!

 He and a few others even took "baths"

during the day! (so fun to watch!)

What is a holiday or gathering that

Garvin is taking a "nap" - though,

it seems now...he has a "grandchild"

along with him...This is "Madison"

The truly "delightful" part of this family

gathering were the TWINS!

Madison and McKenzie!

(L to R)

I LOVE capturing them when they

SMILE!

This is Maddy!

McKenzie - Before getting all decked out 

for Thanksgiving!

 McKenzie has discovered her tongue...so, she

and her Mama play this game...

Grandma Bunny (Annie's mom) is enjoying

the game exchange with her

daughter and granddaughter...

 Larry Egley (Annie's dad) growing his "winter" coat for his face...

and Garvin dressed for MONTANA?

Before dinner...Abe got to do the FUN part of the job...

cleaning out the BARN...Garvin did the hard part...

Abe...got to drive our new tractor...

One must have a tractor...here...

We have this bucket...for rocks and manure...

and shoveling SNOW...plus, we have a

"60" inch tiller - for the garden!

Garvin being..."Garvin"...

BATH TIME!

McKenzie and Annie enjoying the moment!

Madison - Hmmm...not too certain

being placed in a "sink"!

Hey...nearly forgot "Salt and Pepper"!

I think they were just GRATEFUL that THEY

weren't chosen "to be DINNER"...

Sirloin...not so certain...

He witnessed "T-Bone's" fate...

McKenzie and Madison all dressed up and ready

to go to their "Egley" grandparents home...

Grandma BUNNY...got these darling outfits...

perfect... for the occasion!

A "rare" moment...

Not getting a "goofy" looking face

from ABE!

One last game...BEFORE they left

for Annie's parents home for the rest of their

time...here in Montana!
