"Jingle Cowjingle"

"Jingle Cowjingle All The Way" is here from Cow Parade (San Antonio, Texas, 2003) to help me finish packing my bags. Thirty-seven friends and family members are heading to Jacksonville to board the Carnival Fascination for a cruise to the Bahamas. It's going to be soooo much fun, but I have to get our clothes together and into a suitcase by Wednesday, or the sleigh is going to leave without me.

Here are some more vintage pictures. That's my little brother, Frank, and me with Santa back in 1955. The other picture was Christmas morning in 1956. Oh, I remember baby dolls who needed their bottles. I see her buggy there by the tree. Frank always loved his army men. He was crazy about that football helmet.

Precious Memories....

Merry Christmas!

Moodolph the Reindeer

A Very Merry Christmas!

Here is my grand daughter Abigail in 2004 when she was just one year old.

Here Comes Santa Cow!

Here comes Santa Cow, here comes Santa Cow, right down Cow Parade lane!

(Cow Parade, Kansas City, 2001)

My daughter Kellie, only two months old, pictured here with Santa in 1974. Then there's my son Lawrence, about five years old, with Santa in 1982. Don't you just love these precious old Christmas pictures? Sweet memories! Merry Christmas!

Friday Favorite Family Foto: Happy Halloween!

Welcome to Friday Favorite Family Foto! You can enjoy all of today's participants by linking on the cute picture up above. That takes you to

Deborah's blog, Pictures, Pots, and Pens.

"Udderly Wicked Witch" (Wizard of Oz Collection, Kansas City, 2001) and "Miss Fiesta Bones Bovine" (San Antonio, 2003) are here from Cow Parade to wish everyone a Happy Halloween!

I am celebrating past Halloween's with pictures from the family scrapbook.

First, Kellie as Cookie Monster, Lawrence as Big Bird, and William as Oscar the Grouch. Robinhood was a neighbor back in about 1980. Next, you see Connor with the witch decoration in 1994. How about the photo of Bob and Dan when they won the underwater pumpkin carving contest in 1995.

Then we see Tim and Lawrence dressed up for the Haunted House in about 2001. Finally Jennica and John are going to a Halloween Party in 2006.

Hope you enjoyed our walk down Halloween Memory Lane.

I've Been BOO-ED!

I've been BOO-ED!!!! Shimmy Mom gave these instructions: Here is how the Blogging Boo will go. Go to as many friends as you want and tell them they've been "B00-ED." Have them link back to your blog to pick up their Halloween Treat (picture) and tell them to Boo their friends. (Then put the picture in your side bar so everyone knows that you've already been "boo-ed and to send the picture to someone else.) Have a great Halloween everyone.

Thank you Sally and Judi for sharing this Halloween fun with me. Now when you read this you can pass it along to your blogging buddies, too.

FUN, FUN, FUN, FUN, FUN, FUN, FUN, FUN!
