THE SOCKS

 28 years ago Mandy received a personalized, hand knit, Christmas stocking.  With each addition to the family, my mom has made sure they received their very own stocking before their first Christmas.

  Thankfully, the lady who made them is still at it.  Alanna received her sock for her birthday, just in time for her first Christmas with us.

The kids kindly obliged when Grandma suggested they put them on and pose with them around the tree.   I told them not to worry; their faces wouldn't show.

           Sorry, guys, the camera slipped, but I think I found out how to get you all to smile.

                                         I'll just tell you your face won't show!

                               Like Tyler said, "Now she's really a member of the family"

HAPPY 11TH BIRTHDAY, ALANNA!

       Happy birthday to OUR precious, beautiful, sweet, DAUGHTER, Alanna Jessica Snow J.

 

The first of many many birthdays we will celebrate together.

You now have a family to  sing you happy birthday for the next 100 years!

                                                  We love you, baby!  FOREVER!
