We've just returned from a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving in Illinois with our families! Kelly, our oldest daughter gave a Bridal Shower for Katie, our youngest daughter. Here we all are  - celebrating Katie's pending marriage. It was soo very special to see all our relatives and gab! The Bride-to-be, Katie, is sitting and in cherry red. The hostess, Kelly, is in gray in front of Katie. I'm in the leopard print standing in the back left.

Our daughters...all grown up! Where did the time go? A huge thanks to my brother, Scott and his wife Diane for sharing their lovely log home with us! Family is the BEST!!
