The day after

My grandniece, Jadyn. She's a real sweetie and a cute kid!

I have the luxury of being home today. My work group has the day after Thanksgiving off, my husbands did not, so he had to go in. Garbage never stops, not even for holidays! We live in a land of plenty and excess. He will have Christmas and New Years off, but those are the ONLY two days a year that the garbage doesn't move.

My brother-in-law Jim and my sister Kathy. Jim is married to Alicia below.


Me and my sister, Alicia. My husband who needs a nap.

My nieces, Kari and Jessica - They are both so much fun to be around!

Here is my family who came for dinner. We were missing two of my sisters, a nephew, my parents and my own two kids and their families. My family has become scattered all over the United States, but for a few years we ALL lived here in Anchorage. Those were good days for family functions. Somehow I missed getting a picture of JoJo - sorry Mom!

It is not nice when someone needs to work when everyone else is off.
Sure puts a damper on things.
