| For the first time in about eight or nine years we put up our Christmas Tree. We have always had Christmas at my mother's house so we stopped putting one up for just the two of us. This year mom said she was cancelling Christmas so we said we would have it at our house. My daughter has been after us to do it here for about five years so this year she is getting her wish. |

| Justin and Taylor made this Christmas ornament of Colton's little hand for Christmas presents. They are so sweet...hand print of my great grandson !!! |
 |
| Early Christmas for Justin and his family since they have to back on base by the 17th. Justin made my day when he opened the camo Arkansas hat he has on in this picture. He wanted to buy it the other day and even tried it on but needed to save his money to get home on. We were both excited!!!!! |
 |
| Five Generations of our family...Juanita Hopper, Carol Keesling, Suzie Kley, Justin Glover and baby Colton. |

| Mom turns 88 today and is here with her first great great grand child. What a Blessing... |
 |
| Justin, my grandson is home for Christmas and brought my great grandson, Colton, who just turned two months old. |
 |
| Colton James...2 months old |
 |
| At two months old, Colton looks just like his dad, Justin did at that same age. What a CUTIE!!! |
 |
| Our Grandson, Josh came by our house last night after a 10 hour day of Glazing Hams at Whole Hog Cafe where he is working. He puts the glaze on all the hams that they sell for Thanksgiving and Christmas with a torch. He came in with a burnt finger and a cut on his hand and his Grandpa said "looks like you had a hard day, you better go get you a Mountain Dew and have a drink." |
 |
| Josh goes to fridge to get his drink and the first thing he sees is a HAM looking back at him and says "I hate you, damm ham" I'm having Hot Dogs for Thanksgiving Dinner, I'm sure not having HAM! LOL |
 |
| African Violets use to come with names but not anymore. Anyway not the ones you buy in your local stores like Walmart or Lowes. I have five of this little lady and have been trying to find out her name. She is five petals with purple on the edge of a white bloom and dark green leaves. I started all of these from my Mother's plant and it was a very easy one to start with a leaf. Just wish I could find out her name. |
 |
| My Grandson, Justin and his buddies... He is on the front row on the left hand side. The one with the Purple Heart ! |

| Our grand daughter Katy as a model for the Atomic Kitten Beauty Salon in Bakersfiled, California. They made her up on the TV News... |
 |
| Another 6" African Violet I found at Lowes, but a different Lowes from the last one I posted. This is a NOID (no id) but it is still very pretty. I will keep looking for the name. I have posted it on the AV site so maybe someone will know the name. |
 |
| My new African Violet I found at Lowes...surprise, surprise! I think I lucked out, they hadn't even unpacked it yet and I opened the box and helped myself. My friends on the AV site I go to said it was Optimara Modesty. It is a 6" plant with beautiful red color on the under leaf. |
 |
| I can't believe our great grandson, Keeyan is turning four today. Year one, Year two, Year three, and Year four :) |
