Welch Party/Sibling Party/ Addison's BOOK

We had a wonderful Welch family party at Sandy and Clark's home with 73 of a possible 125 people attending.  Wanee was in heaven with so many of her people there.  It's nice that Sandy and Clark remodeled and added on to their home so we could fit so many of us.  We enjoyed soup, salads, rolls, ice cream cake rolls, white elephant exchange with a lot of silly stuff including an empty jar with ribbon that said.. .Farts June 2016- beef jerky, eggs and cherry...so funny!  Some of us headed to the Hopebox theatre after to do a little nativity.  This year we only had Blake and Liz's kids and Holly do the nativity.  ( we lost a lot of kids in the transitioning to a new place)

My sibling party was fun...we ate at Station park and then went to Gary's for reminiscing and prezzies.  I was so excited to give out Addison's first illustrated book..."Once I went a Swimmin'"  the song Grandpa Lyle would teach and sing to all of us.  It was a HIT!   I am so proud of Addison for getting this labor of love finished. Alfie thinks this book is about him and his dog Harvey...it's really cute when he goes through this book and comments on all of the pictures.








AND....speaking of Alfie...he sat on Santa's lap and didn't cry and wasn't even nervous...that's what he told me anyway...
