December 2011 Visit North

Our trip north went well, even tho the temp got lower and lower as we headed to CT.  We spent 5 nights with Brian and Lauren, and 5 nights at Becca's in-laws, close to Becca and her Brian.  Had a wonderful time at both places.  It is great to have warm weather here in the south, but miss all of these people immensely!

BJ playing Wii.  BJ's getting so tall, I need to look up at him!

Aiden playing Wii with Uncle Brian.

Lauren with Aunt Nancy's b'day cake.

Al's brother Branch and sis-in-law Nancy.  Nancy has a birthday this time of year, so Lauren put candles in the dessert cake.

Awwww....Uncle and Aiden!

Bubba Chang, one of Brian and Lauren's cats.


One of Joyce, Hank and Jack's 5 cats.  I cannot remember this one's name.  Kind of like kids, loves the boxes things come in LOL

Comfy!!!

the rig to use it comfortably, and Becca and BrianB have one.

I had made scrapbooks of the Alaska trip for all the kids....hard to wrap so I had to improvise, yarn and material.  So fun making them; brought back memories, so hopefully in years to come it will for them also.
