Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.  We are just winding down from ours - we celebrate on Boxing Day usually.  Ben and Paul have been constructing a replica of our house in gingerbread - the roof assembly is complete!  Sylvia made some great landscaping.  More building tonight, after a family dance off to the Michael Jackson Experience game Sylvia got.

Sylvia says she will see you all on New Years Eve Day.  Happy Holidays from Paul.  David is busy finishing up the dishes and Ben cannot be torn away from the gingerbread house for comment......

See you this weekend!

Merry Christmas to all! Had a great Christmas Eve dinner with Sahara, Luke, Tat, and Gram. Had a delicious breakfast with Gram, Molly, and Jim then went to church. Had a peaceful day with the hubby, and then homemade pizza at Gram's for dinner. The sunset was one straight from a Hallmark card - who could ask for anything more! Hope to see you all soon.

Hello everyone,
Just wanted to say Merry Christmas before we leave for our big trip. We will be returning on Christmas Eve just in time for our Christmas play at church. Wanted to let everyone know, we didn't order enough Christmas cards this year so if you didn't get one it was because I ran out as I was addressing them. I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and look forward to seeing everyone at the Gavett Gathering at the end of the month.

My 5 K best time this weekend: 52.8  Of course, Sahara and Nancy got in before me, but it was a fun evening event.  Thank you, Nancy, for the birthday treat. (And to you Sahara for the mulled wine, probably the reason Nancy won ALL the games).

Happy belated birthday to David too. Still can't believe how fast he grew!
Hello everyone,


I am finally back on the blog and am going to try to stay better in touch than before. We have been busy getting ready for Christmas around here. Dylan was the cutest angel ever in the Christmas play on Sunday. That night we all went to a roller skating party and Izzy beat out 40 other guests to win the limbo contest on skates. I had a little trouble just standing up at first but got better as the night went on and ended the party with no falls. I look forward to seeing everyone at the Gavett Christmas celebration. Uncle Chris we have been thinking about you here.

Hello Everyone!

No much to update on here other than we have our Christmas lights up and so does the tenant. This house looks so beautiful with the decorations! Jen and I took Opie back to the Heart of the Catskills in Delhi to be neutered and we found out that, Snowball, the large white dog from on top of the hill near Grandma and where Molly lives was at the animal shelter. He was picked up on the side of the road by someone and taken there... when the shelter called his owner about him, he told them that he no longer wanted the dog and to do what they wish with him. Well come to find out, while we were there, an older couple was spending time with him and filling out the adoption papers for him. The lady at the shelter says she knows the people and that he is going to a great home and is finally going to get the proper attention and shelter that he deserves. Work for me has been really rough... working twice as long and hard, yet I only bring home 1/3 of what I used to. We are hoping things change soon. We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and we will see everyone at our Gavett Christmas!
