Granny&Grampsplace: Way Behind

I LOVE GENEALOGY

Frank & I have been doing genealogy for several years and we have been working a shift at the Family History Center, but had to quit due to our surgeries. Our favorite genealogy site is: Ancestry.com and we are excited that the Las Vegas Temple district has just recently been allowed to the newfamilysearch.org site. We love researching our families and have spent hours and hours doing so. We are the Family History Consultants for our Ward.

The below picture was taken on a trip Frank & I made in 2000. I was able to see this old Smith Home and meet some of my cousins on this trip. I actually visisted this old place when I was a very small child around 4 years old, and I can still remember it. As I was wandering around the old place, I felt my deceased Aunt's presence and I could see her running around the yard playing as a small child. She was raised by the Smiths her grandparents.

Way Behind

I really have been a blog slacker. It seems like we have been on the dead go this past month. I am going to post some pictures and make comments on them and hopefully catch up.

Renee came to our home over the Thanksgiving holiday. She spent a couple of nights with us. Rozlynn wasn't feeling very well, as she had picked up some kind of a bug from the daycare kids. In the above pictures, Roz had crawled into the bathtub to explore the soap and play peek a boo from behind the shower curtain. She was a real mama's girl because she wasn't feeling good so I didn't get to play with her very much.

THANKSGIVING DINNER AT BRET AND LAURA'S HOME

Thanksgiving Dinner is being served

Pie cutting time

It was a cool, cloudy morning but the sun came out and we were able to eat on the patio

Enjoying visiting with family

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner at Bret and Laura's home. I wasn't feeling very well, so we didn't stay very long. We came home and rested the rest of the day.

CHRISTMAS DECORATING

Frank started on the outside decorations, and I did the inside. Frank put the lights on the Christmas tree and helped me decorate it.

Little Elves dancing on the piano

Now if Allen, my brother was just here to play the piano, the Elves could dance to his tunes. He came for a weekend visit, but his wife Joyce ended up in the hospital and he had to go back to Salt Lake so he could be with her. It was a real short visit. She was able to be home for Thanksgiving and Allen cooked Thanksgiving dinner. I am proud of him to step up to the bat and cook Thanksgiving dinner for his family.
