Christmas Day

Here we are below!! On Christmas Day. Bob is missing because he waited in the garage until we finished singing Joy to the World. That makes him the star of the program as solist next year. Pictured seated in front: Grandpa and Granny B. Second row left to right, Glen Smith, Kelli Smith, Peter Bridgman, Foster Wade, Dillon Wade, Candy Smith, Cameron Wade, Larry Smith. Back row Mike and Peggy Bridgman and Mike Wade. Tindy took the picture.

Above the boy cousins were enlisted to help make the "smashed" potatoes.

p.s. Mike Bridgman is the happy recipient of the "Pee Wee" portrait. Glen sadly retired it from his care. He will proudly display it for one full calendar year, or if he disires not to, he automatically will be required to keep it one additional year.

Holiday Visitors

Grandpa Mike came from Oregon yesterday and is staying a couple days before he's off to see Jeff and Jill and Marlena and Randy and the kids. He's got a few stops along his way. He looks good and is walking three miles. He said Uncle Gene Smith has lost 160lbs and is weighing 215. Yeah to them!!

He helped Michael and the boys with some welding projects for Camerons cow grooming chute and shelf brackets for the wrestling room at Camerons school. Beat nearly all of us at cribbage and played some mean ping pong.

The new neighbors Nancy and Alan came buy today with banana bread and borrowed great granny Bridgmans hamilton beach mixer to make more treats for the holidays. It's still in great shape and loves to work.

Dillon spent the night with Peter Bridgman last night and they had a jam session I think. Dillon said Pete's a good cook!

Rained and rained today and felt good to get some indoor projects and time in today.

Now that I have figured out how to use the blogspot I'll make more frequent posts and get more family from Washington involved.
