Well everyone had a nice time celebrating Christmas at Larrie's house on Christmas Eve, as you can see Lucy had fun chewing on toys and playing tug-a-war wuith Anthony. Other pictures include just some of the family hanging out and having a good time. The last photo shows a group picture of the family as we celebrate Christmas 2011. Looking foward on doing it again next year.

Pictures taken from the Coupeville Greening Day parade, nice turnout from the locals and of course Santa and his helpers were there to greet kids and families.

Pictures taken on Thanksgiving 2011 at the Messner's. Other pictures inclue a group photo, and the first annual graham cracker house building enjoyed by all who were building and watching the fun building the houses. Some of the builders were serious about the construction of their buildings, including Frank Marti and his Bud Light House. Everyone had fun by the looks of it.

We took a short trip this past week, we took the Cascade Loop Highway Drive and went thru the Cascades, Rainy Pass and Lake, also made a stop in Leavenworth, and then we finished the trip with a stop at Deception Falls. Weather was very warm and sunny, but we had fun and enjoyed the drive and sights.

This was taken on the 30th of July at Steve's Celebration of life. Weather was sunny and very nice for all who attended it. Some of the family was there along with co-workers of Steve and fellow firefighters that Steve worked with in the fire department. Jerry offered a prayer before friends and family members told stories and memories that they recalled with Steve. Refreshments were served that afternoon.
