Thanksgiving in windy Omaha.


River loves to swing!



Melinda has become the family photographer with the best pictures!!!
This is Dotti enjoying a super visit to the park.



Hello Silas!  You are growing so fast and are so smart!




River turned two!  
How adorable is this picture???  



Happy, happy Dotti!





Lorelei and Zeke are just a few  weeks apart in age.  Classic....girls mature earlier.  






River can drink out of a glass now.  Melinda put a little makeup on her....it's cute to see Melinda have a chance to play 'girl auntie'.  



Don't blow away Katie!





My baby with her first nephew ;o)






Emma was a nanny for many boys.....
she is totally enjoying her little girl.




A quick portrait with James and Emma!  






A Thanksgiving miracle!!!  No one thought it possible....but we moved quickly and I'm delighted to have this wonderful grandchildren line-up!!!




I'm so thankful that the girls all get along so well.



Katie cut her bangs for a halloween costume and now has Farrah Faucett hair!!!




My very favorite kind of picture.









Pretty.





This picture is too funny for words.

Sweeney Todd???



You should see Malachi climb!!  Oh so high....I can not watch.


Mr Serious with his dad.



Emma is expecting in May!!!


 




It's stress hosting twenty-some people!! 
Matthew making us laugh by digging out a high school shirt!

"It fits"






Also making us laugh by reinforcing the benches for the many bottoms.


I loved getting to see everyone. Patrick did not come because he does not want to get covid.  
I hope he gets over that fear.  


Now we are back to the very quiet....quiet life.  
It's either one or the other extreme.

I'm gradually Christmas shopping and decorating.  I'm ready for it this year...in my heart.  Seems everyone is really ready.... super early.....

Happy Christmas time.

Lots of love,
Donna
