2011 Holidays

Our family had special holiday's this year. My son, Michael, came home to West Texas at Thanksgiving and Christmas. He is attending school in New York City at Columbia University. Michael has been growing his beard since he left for New York in August.




The Brown family was together for Thanksgiving here at our home in San Angelo.











Michael had a surprise when he arrived home, his Dad had got his Mule Deer back from the taxidermist and hung it in the living room.



It was a nice mount, and a surprise for Michael.

My parents, Mama Jo and Grandaddy, came to visit from Burkburnett after Thanksgiving.






Patrick trimmed his beard up around this time, he is so cute and so is Michael.




My parents were giving me a forced smile, oh well they never knew how I might use it! It was nice to have them here, they don't get to visit that often.





To me Christmas means:
The birth of our lord Jesus Christ. It means knowing that I will have everlasting life because he gave his life for mine. Christmas is a special time to share with loved ones. I am thankful for the best gift of all.....the gift of family. So I rejoiced his holiday season for I am blessed.




Christmas was hear before we were ready! We had a Christmas gathering here at our home. Charlotte and Frank came in from Alpine, Charlotte's sister Georgia made it from Colorado with her beau Danny. Peggy and Mark only had to drive across town!




























Another favorite Christmas decoration in the metal tree shown above. Many of the ornaments on the little tree have special meaning to me.



Patrick and Richard posed at the tree for me. Patrick spent the Christmas holiday in Tucson with Meagan and her family. Michael joined him for New Years in Arizona.




Bocephus hiding under the Christmas tree before the presents were placed.







I love putting out the Nativity figures each year! I love to display all my special ornaments on the tree and my glass tree I brought back from Venice.









I have to include this picture of Michael with a clean shaven face for his return to New York. His roommate will not recognize him. I feel I had an extended holiday this year that lasted the length of Michael's winter break. Now it is back to reality!
