A Visit To See Grandpa Nicholas

December 18 & 19th
As always we had a wonderful and relaxing time in Alpine.  We had a nice visit with grandpa, a comfy stay at the new Hampton Inn and ate YUMMY local cuisine.  My favorite and a must try if you are an Italian food lover and are ever in Alpine is La Trattoria.  I loved it soo much we tried to go there twice but unfortunately they aren't open on Sundays.

Isabella's 1st Lion's Club Christmas Party

**First Things First**
This post marks my 100th post since I started blogging.  I have enjoyed blogging.  Although sometimes I fall behind and have to do major catch up it provides a way for me to communicate with family and friends that we don't get to see often enough and let them know what goes on in our busy, sometimes exciting but yet sometimes boring lives.  I have been horrible at keeping up with Isabella's baby book and scrapbook so when I have time it will also allow me a way to go back and remember those great times and dates.  Thanks for taking your time to share in on our lives!

Now back to the Lion's Club....
I remember as a young child attending Lion's Club Christmas Parties with Grandad Jackson & Granna.  It was always a fun time had by all.  It was neat to see my little girl attend her very 1st Lion's Club Christmas Party with some of the same members that were members when I was a child.  Brandee's Grandpa always played Santa and believe it or not, I never knew!  Now as his guest and has been for years, he brings his great-granddaughter Ally.  

Singing Christmas Carols w/ Ally

Roller Skates, helmet, Knee & Elbow pads please!

Pictures from the Photo Shoot after the Party!

Can't imagine what it will be like trying to get a good picture of the 4 of us next year since we can't seem to manage a good one of just 3 of us now!
