Ward Christmas Party

Mary refused to sit on Santa's lap. Sad...

On December 12th we had our annual ward Christmas party. It was a lot of fun. It was held a Saturday morning. It might sound strange, but I prefer the morning parties. We had breakfast cassoroles, muffins, oranges, and many other things to eat. It was all very delicous. Throughout the party Santa was there. He came around and talked to everyone. These were some of the pics Carol took."Santa, I have been a very good girl this year!"

This was my reaction when santa told me I had been very close to the NAUGHTY list.

I asked Santa for a carribbean cruse. He told me that he and Mrs. Clause would have to come to. I believe Mary asked for a watch.

BIRTHDAY

I Cassy Gardner dedicate this post to my cousin Ann. May you see that I am alive and well.
Happy Birthday to me and Anna! My b-day was great, hope yours was as marvelous as well!



As you can see I got quite a few things. From Amy Richardson I got frosting, Kylie Coats gave me a necklace and earrings, Karen Christensen gave me a hair thing, Family gave me 2 shirts, a vest, the game Curses and a watch, Carol gave me earphones, a necklace, lotion, and coming to thanksgiving, and Dad and John gave me $250.

JK, they only gave me $50. The $200 is for my class ring. It was a great b-day. I hope everyone enjoyed themselves and thanks for everything you do!

Thanksgiving

Well another year of Thanksgiving has come and gone. Sad how fast things fly. So we did our usual of going to Aunt Ann's house. There were several differences. First was the amount of people. We had a very small crowd. There were between 21-25 of us. Very small compared to 40-50 people. Last was getting Carol to come. With a pull of an arm and a twist of  a leg, I finally got her to come. Anyway here are a few pics of the day.                                  Meg making Mary beautiful for the day.
 Were did all the tables go? If you look close Grandma is in the pic. I believe she is smiling.
                         This year I sat at the old table. Talk about weird!
 This is the cupcake found on the younger kids' plates. Aren't they cute?
         This was the center piece for the year.
 Our annual trip to the Pump House. I love this pic of Meg and Lium!
 Intently watching "the claw". We had to watch it do it's stuff.



David John told Uncle Lee that he needed to put a wake board in the water, open it up on Friday nights and let all the teenagers come and wake board. Then he could make some money.


Thanksgiving was fun this year. I'm glad we have the opportunity to go and see family. I hope everyone had a marvelous Thanksgiving as well. Thanks to Carol for coming and for Ann and Avan for hosting.

First Snowfall

The first day it snowed was sometime in October. Meg and I had to go role up hoses. So her cat Socks decided to go out side and play in the snow. Soon he got tired of that and went to find refuge. Bashful on the other hand decided to stay inside and cuddle up with a blanket.
