The Grove Park Inn and Gingerbread Houses

OOPS, Forgot to put these pics on. I am losing my mind!!! Just when I think I have it alltogether. Ha Ha!! Hope you enjoy the pics. A little note. They have a Gingerbread House Contest each year and people submit them from all over. The winners usually end up being shown on Good Morning America each year. It was fun to look at them and realize all the hard work that went into making each one.

Kaitlyn's 4th Birthday and Thanksgiving Day!

Wow, we got back home and then we celebrated Kaitlyn's 4th birthday which happened while we were in Maine. She was so excited and now can't wait to turn 5. I tried to tell her to relax and enjoy being 4 but I don't think she understood the logic of what I was telling her. I'm also including a family pic of the grandkids in NC for everyone to see. On Thanksgiving Day we went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast. (That is non conventional isn't it?). Then we went to the Grove Park Inn in Asheville to view all the Christmas decorations. Then last but not least we went to Steve's work and had a wonderful Turkey dinner with all the trimmings. It was scrumptious. Now I think I am caught up for now and next will come Christmas. My oh My the time does pass fast doesn't it???

Elisabeth's 16th Birthday in Maine

We no sooner got back to N.C. and it was time to go to Maine. We flew out the end of Oct. for 3 weeks. We packed a lot into those 3 weeks. There were horse shows, Mission Conferences, Special Celebration of Calvary Baptist's 4th anniversary, a 16th birthday to celebrate and mandy more good times with family and friends. Maine is indeed special to our hearts and to be able to go and listen to my "Favorite Preacher". WOW! I could be a little prejudiced!!!Hope you enjoy just a few photos. The date on my camera is off so ignore that. I have just purchased a new one which seems to be doing good and taking great pics.

Family Reunion in Fla.

I have been rather lazy about getting some new pics on the blog so I am going to try and catch you up to now starting first with the Family Reunion for the Bells in Fla. Grandma Bell is in her 80's. We had a good week with her and then on the way home went to the Reunion in N.Fla.
