My Very Own Birthday Song

For my birthday this week, I received a beautiful rendition of “Happy Birthday” from my niece. As you see in the video, she even blew out the candles for me. Thanks Riley!

Thanksgiving in Nashville

Thanksgiving this year was a quick trip to Nashville where my sister lives. The upside was that all my siblings were there; the downside was that only Joe, Syd and I made the trip. Cheryl hosted her family for the first time this year.

Niece Riley turned three earlier in the month and was a great hostess.  She really warmed up to Syd and my niece Taylor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Krista (and her husband Jason) were great hosts.  We had fried turkey again and it was tasty.  This was a good picture of Krista and Riley.  Who loves her mommy????

 

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

Dad discovered that his grandkids are getting pretty tall.  (Uncle Andy is lurking in the background).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was a quick trip, but a good time to be with the family.

A Smile for Your Day

My Mom and Dad were able to go visit my sister Krista, her husband, Jason, and my niece Riley last weekend.  Riley is 2 1/2 and loves to see her grandmas and grandpas.  My Dad put a few pictures of her on his Facebook and this was truly my favorite.

That is quite a smile!  If you needed a smile for your day…here ya go!

Cute Niece Video

I mentioned Riley on her birthday a few months back. My sister and brother-in-law do a good job keeping the family updated through their blog. Recently they posted this video. Didn’t realize it was on YouTube so I snagged the embed code to share it. Is she cute or what? Must be the Brackemyre genes coming through!
