Family Christmas Pics

I've decided that Joel's new camera was a really great gift for him.  He loves its "gadgetness" (I just made that up), and with all its buttons and settings, he should be captivated for quite some time.  One beautiful feature is that there is no sound when a picture is taken, so he can snap away without being overly noticeable...or annoying, as the case may be.

The following are family pictures taken last weekend at our Christmas gathering...

My brother Rick and his wife Opal

My niece Rachel

My niece Hollie

My dear Mother and her husband Art

My niece Brandy and her daughter Brooklyn

My brother Patrick

Our daughter Ashlea

My brother Bruce and his wife Vicki

My niece Angie, her husband Don, daughters Mia and Ella

My sister Jayne and her husband Dale

I like this picture of us.

Unfortunately, not everyone was able to be with us last weekend, but we made the most of the time together.  And there was enough pie to go around...and around...so we were all on our best behavior.  : )

Next stop...the gathering with Joel's family.
