Mom and Bill still smilin'!!! 2 5 09

Christy was visiting from Ohio (where she and Gary are staying with Jeff and Angie and their children) so we put together a dinner for as many siblings and spouses as were available. Nana (mom) and Bill are doing quite well under the circumstances (mom recovering from back surgery, and Bill perhaps needing surgery) and we had a wonderful visit...complete with Cindy's yummy manicotti and Laurie's creme brulee -- delish!

Happy Birthday Mom! 2008

The annual birthday celebration for Mom was held at our home this year. Tracy and Christy were able to come from out of state. Great dinner and great company!

We watched DVDs of the Anderson Children growing up. The image you see on the screen is not a professional model, but Mom herself as a young mother! She is really skinny even though the TV screen doesn't show it!Time for Laurie's scrumptious dessert!Mom blows out a candle and makes a wish!

Looking at one of the gifts from us -- a picture of Nana and Nate together at his "farewell."

Family Reunion

We are so glad that Christy and family invited the rest of us to come up to Park City so that we could see all the out-of-staters -- and the in-staters for that matter! Those who could not come were sure missed... So great to be together!!! What a fun reunion! Jana asked, "Annie, did you have fun playing with Grandpa Bill? It looked like he really enjoyed you!" Annie answered, "I really enjoyed him!"
