Happy New Year!

We played Racko and ate way too much! Oh, and of course I had to take pictures!!!!

Jan and Devin and boys came down the day after Christmas and Grandpa Jerry, Granpa Gaylord, and Marshall's Daddy made this puppet theater for Marshall.
He's a puppet nut and now can put on his own pupper shows. This picture doesn't show the completely finished project but you get the idea. It was a big hit.

Christmas Day!!!

Sorry Al and Ginger, I finally got your picture on yesterday's post. I almost forgot since I made you take a second picture. However, it was worth it. I think the last one turned out really well don't you?

We had a quiet Christmas today. Katy was here and my mom called and woke everyone at 7:30 A.M. That was after being up till 1:00 A.M. Oh well, I guess at 87 she has a right to be excited to still be here this Christmas, especially since she wasn't supposed to survive through the holidays last year. Anyway, I went and got Mom and we opened gifts and had breakfast. We went to church. Katy left mid afternoon and Jerry and I spent the rest of the day napping, watching TV, and eating left overs. Pretty good Christmas.

I didn't take any pictures today. I'm giving my camera a rest.

Marshall Family Christms 2005!

We had our annual family Christmas Sunday, December 18. I was expecting about ten more people, but they were unable to make it because of the road conditions up north. We missed them, but still seemed like we had a full house. We had our traditional gift exchange game.

I got the gift I wanted, a 2006 Coca Cola calendar. I think everyone had a good time and it was fun seeing family that we don't get to see often, especially Justin and Tiffany and boys from California. The next party at our house is Christmas Eve. If anyone doesn't have a place to go they are welcome to our house anytime after 7:00 p.m. Merry Christmas! Here's some pictures.
