Happy Monday!

OMG, two days in a row posting on my blog! 🙂  If I have been consistent on anything it is that I’ve been very inconsistent with this blog since my retirement.  Go figure.

Yesterday (Sunday) was Gabriella’s10th birthday.  We were blessed to have Art,Paula, David, and Nick Roling as well as Mark & Julia.  This is (I think) the first time we’ve been able to get a group photo with everyone present.

Angie made a delicious cake for Gabby and guests.  She of course got lots of presents from her Mom and Dad and the two Grand Mothers.  It was a wonderful time to get to visit with everyone and to get caught up on everyone’s life.

It took her three tries to get all the candles out but she made it.  One of her biggest joys is that at 10 years old she can ride in the front seat without any type of booster seat.  This was a very big deal to Gabby.

Prior to dinner and presents it was snowing heavily with big flakes.  This image doesn’t really capture the beauty of the large flakes but you get the idea.  Want to see a larger more detailed image?  Just click on the image and it will happen.

Enjoy your day and be careful.
