“Suz, how do you get such good pics of all of your kids looking at the camera and smiling?…”

Bribes. Lots and lots and lots of bribes.

Before we opened more presents, the kids had to all sit on the couch for a cousin pic! heh, heh

Suzanne I think your Granny would have approved of your shirt. She might have even switched her Bah Humbug one for yours HA. Thought about your Dad all day on the 23rd while I remembered all the great times on that day at your Aunt Bonne's. Such great memories. Give your mom and dad, Collin and familia and your kids and Joe a hug. Thanks for sharing. Love you girlie

Looks like everyone was very happy! Can't wait to hear some baking stories from Savannah, I had so much fun with easy bake oven, I'm sure they have changed a lot! Hope your mom is feeling better, keeping you all in my prayers. Thanks again for sharing! A friend in East Texas, Pam.
