Winter Siblings Party at Aunt Annette's

This year, Annette chose to have the Winter quarter Dunford siblings party January 6th.  She moved from a house last summer and now has a wonderful condo behind the Conference Center downtown.  She hosted the gathering in the Club room.  All were able to come except Gloria and Robin in Australia and John and Pam in Michigan.

 It was an extremely snowy night, and Rob wasn’t able to get up the driveway to the parking lot. He let me off and then had to drive a couple of blocks away. I worried about his slipping in the snow, but he was OK.  Everyone brought great food  and then we shared a little about what our families were doing. And then we shared love gifts...

  

 A Christmas apron, and candy from Dan and Penn

We received a darling crocheted angel and candy from Judy.

And delicious German chocolate's that Annette had brought back from Europe.

Nuts from Randon and Gayle.

Hot chocolate from Carolyn and Ron

Handsome Thanksgiving towels from Judy and David

We had made canvas prints of the Dunford lady

It is always so great to be with Rob’s family

Happy 2018!

It doesn't seem that it has been a whole year since we celebrated New Year's and Clay's family's visit.

For New Year's Eve, partly because it was Sunday night, we had some cheese and crackers and some sparkling cider.  Lots of fireworks outside.

The next day, we really just had a quiet day, but we do have some photos to share.  Bert and Chris had their kids over and treated them to a great buffet, football games, and puzzle playing.

Fun food for everyone!

Zoe, Natalie, Jane and Jasmine - part of Bryant's darling family!

The rest of the family just chilling!

With our mission getting over the end of April and our returning to Atlanta, it will be interesting to see what the new year brings to our whole family.
