Today is Tim's 25th birthday. He wanted chocolate mousse for dessert.

Jake thought he might like some "chocolate mouse" also..... he was waiting for his candle!

I was sitting at the computer upstairs when I saw this visitor outside. It was just dusk; and fortunately, Peter had already brought Jake inside.

Priscilla and Bob had a Holiday Party between Christmas and New Year's....

Tim's friend Cameron from AmeriCore visited us. He is from North Carolina, and he thought it was pretty cold up here.

It was Andy's birthday!!

People love to give Andy old records..........

Here is one of our Christmas traditions....and the peppermint is delicious!!

Karen and Norman joined us for Christmas dinner with the Allens this year.

I don't know what Peter was looking for under the table......

We were a little sparse with the "kids" picture, Kris and his family were not with us Christmas day this year.
