Happy 2014

How wonderful it is to start a new year with the people we love.  This new year we had the pleasure of having a family gathering at Vera’s home.

Liz was so proud to be the guest at her daughter’s house.

Past New Year’s Day gatherings,  Liz would host the day at her home, but this year she got to put up her feet and be the guest.

Well, an almost guest.  Liz had to do some of the work since her daughter was really having it at her home because Liz had asked her to host this year’s New Year’s Day celebration.

All the kids came to break some New Year’s bread.

No, not all the kids.

My son and his family were MIA.  See, he had his deviated septum surgery on Monday and was unable to make it.  🙁  He is still recouping.

Now Bill, Vera’s husband, was the bestest host.  Always making sure that we had what we needed.

And always serving with a smile.  Just love Bill!

Here she is.  Vera!  Our hostess with the mostess

Vera certainly made her guests feel right at home, and she kept up with the crazy pace that we can create when we are all together under one roof.

How wonderful is it to start a new year with family and very dear friends.

Now we have to get use to writing the number 2014 on checks and other items, but we never have to get use to being together.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

MAY GOD BRING MORE FAMILY AND LOVE INTO YOUR LIVES, AS HE HAS BROUGHT INTO OURS.
