Christmas At The Farm.

Pictorial Family Christmas--missing Granddaughter Maddie and her Dad Mark with the stomach virus.
Missing Jennifer and her family in Disney World, but other than that........................
=======================

Ancestor's farm.  Settled in 1850.  The house built in 1857 and renovated in 2012,







The farm from Susan's kitchen window--where I was born and my son lives now.


















Between the entry-way and the family room.

 Sister and me





















2nd child and oldest daughter--Pammie    






















My eldest, son Mark and 3rd child, Karen
Poor Mark--bloated from the steroids he has to take
to keep his cancer at bay.


Susan's son and his two girls



 My grandsons, actually I just met the one on the left.  Susanna, from Oregon, boyfriend from Alaska.
James, a  nicer man I have never met--next to my own grandson's

Marcus and Stephen.












 My grand girls--Helene, Morgan and Susanna holding Della.
Actually, Morgan isn't official until June 2, 2018 when she and Marcus will marry.


Our family tradition since I was a little girl.  The singing of the carols here.

Sure glad I rode up and home with Karen.  The outside photos were taken at 1:00.  By the time we left to come home, there was 2" of snow on the ground and another 5" predicted.  Karen has a nice new car and new snow tires.  We never slipped a bit on those country roads.





...and Darling Della celebrating
Hanukkah two weeks ago.
