Triplets Third Birthday

My Great Grandchildren had a birthday party today, January 23, 2009. They were born in December, so Mom (my granddaughter, Neena) has their birthday in January every year.



Here are Isabelle and Kendall, jackets off to show their t-shirts. Jake had Number 1, Isabelle had number 3 and Kendall had number 2 printed on the front.


Here is Jake with hood up (He didn't want his picture of his t-shirt taken), Isabelle and Kendall. That's Mom caught by surprise and looking at the camera and Dad behind Jake in the blue sweat shirt.

Unfortunately, my camera batteries died before presents were opened and the candles were lit and blown out successfully by each triplet!

Pictures of Christmas in Seattle

Holly's son, Doug and his wife Kay and their two children Charlie and Susie were just outstanding host for us as we visited them over the Christmas holidays. These pictures below will reflect the good times. Santa came for a visit to see all the younger kids, giving each kid a present. The Santa I understand was a neighbor who visited most of the homes in this neighborhood


Holly and Dave Christmas morning, I think. But very happy to be with Doug and Kay!

Charlie opening a pair of Speedo swimming trunks which he hates, but better wear on his high school swimming team for speed!

Susie being the great person she is, ran across the room and literally jumped into Santa's lap much to the howls of all the guest! She is going to be one of the most attractive teens in Seattle with a great personality!

The guest on Christmas Eve were relatives and neighbors and friends of Doug and Kay. Of special note, a new friend to me is on the far left, Rep. Norm Dicks, 32 years in Congress from the Seattle area. Very good at singing and remembering old songs and a pleasure to talk to on most any subject.
