We almost, all of us, gathered at our daughters house to have our family get together for 2020. We had a few missing. This gathering included Thanksgiving, Pam's B'day and our White Elephant Christmas. We all had plenty to eat and we were able to visit and catch up on family happenings. We had fun with all the great grandkids and grandkids and our 3 children and their families. There was a big surprise because Dillon, Whitley and Everett showed up and only a couple knew they were coming.
Lots of catching up since it had been awhile since everyone had seen each other.
Too much food as usual but no one really complained about the over abundance. Never do.
Need to apologize for not having more pics with family groups. Next time together we will have more family pics of each family.
We want to thank each and everyone of you for coming. We were so blessed to see y'all and hope those missing can be there next time.
We want to wish each family a joyous Christmas season and lets remember the true reason for the season.
Christmas blessings to all and to all a good night for now.
On the way to our daughter's house we drove by the Gullo property to view their display. It was raining and they didn't have their lights on because it wasn't dark enough. It is really spectacular at night. This is their actual residence and they seem to add to it each year.
When we arrived here was Joe.
Everything looked great and decorated for our gathering.

These three kids had these same stools back in 1967 or 1968 when we lived in San Antonio. So these once again got to try them out.
They even remembered what color there's were.
