1. In December Ken turned 39. Us girls made him a Hannah Montana cake with Janessa and Mia’s picture on it. We were fortunate to have Nana here overnight for two nights for Christmas. Ken had to work but we planned dinner for him. Then Janessa turned 7. She had a dog themed party with hiding bones, musical bones, and pin the tail on the dog. Her favorite gift was the Hannah Montana guitar with headset that she plays all the time full volume.
We are so blessed with such a great family and friends.
We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
