It is good to be home during November and December in order to spend the holidays with the family.

First up was Thanksgiving – with a good compliment of Family AND beautiful weather!

Thanksgiving dinner at Barb and Andrews.

The ‘Girls’

It seems that one barely turns around after Thanksgiving – and there is Christmas!!  Dinner was at our house with the Phoenix family – and a good time was had by all – –

Christmas dinner – before.

Maestro Elizabeth and her ‘whistle blowers’ had a post dinner concert.

Who can’t follow the baton??

Then we were off to Lemoore to celebrate with the Shoe crew – –

Granddaughters Kira, Haley and Olivia – are ready.

Haley got a VB from cousin Demi;-)

Olivia and Kira got bikes from Gramma and Gramps;-)

More off key whistling.

A good time was had by all here, too.

One more celebration – bring in the New Year in Scottsdale – –

Bring on 2017…

….complete with horns and sparklers.

And so – another year ends and a new one begins.  Wonder what new adventures will be had?!?!?!

Happy 2017 to All – With Much Love From Elizabeth & Gary
