What a fun way to kick off the holiday season- pictures with Santa. Our good friends Sandy and Brian Blain joined in on the festivities. Our ward does a Christmas breakfast- hence the apron (I was serving egg strata to 225 people). We eat and sing and eat some more. We are anxious for more holiday cheer as we all gather in Newport, California, December 27, 2008.
Navarre and Catherine came to Visalia driving their new car. It was wonderful having them home. They've been married for 6 months. Gasoline was down from 4.00 a gallon to 1.85 per gallon. President elect Barak Obama had something to do with lifting the tariff so the price would be lowered.
Visalia Jewelry Services is open for Black Friday. Goodies Cookies is our neighbor to the left and Flower Affair to the right.
Our store is filled with jewelry, knives, swords, and other medieval artifacts. The balloons are fit for the Black Friday Sale and celebrations.
Thanksgiving was complete for me when pictures were taken with my two sisters. Mine is the unique experience being sandwiched between Jana and Sharon.
Elle's 18th birthday shared with friends. She decided to have a Halloween party as well. Homemade Root Beer is in the silver bowl, frothing with dry ice- yummy! Elle was a vampire FBI agent. On the front of her shirt was FBI and on the back it read "take a bite out of crime." The ensemble was completed with vampire teeth.
Others arrived later. Notice the cob webs and spiders.
Friends from Institute came too.
