2014 Christmas ABC Letter

Image
2014 was a Wonderful Year in the Gibson home. Welcome to  just a few of my favorite things from the year. A is for Adrian. I realized as I was searching for photos for this post that I didn't have a single one of my great son-in-law. He is truly a treasure and my resolution for 2015 is to get some shots of him. Get ready Adrian! A is also for Artist. We had a lot of artwork going on at our house this year. B is for Buffalo or if you are a Harding University graduate Bison. These were a little scary as they crowded around our car. C is for Cora. As many of you know, Cora had a rough several months. She wore a Spica Cast, but her smiles never stopped. She was an inspiration to us all. Another shot of this little smiling angel with her cast covered by a Raggedy Ann dress that her great-great-grandmother Bergeron made for her mom many years ago. D is for Daisies. Jeremy planted a daisy field for me this spring. I cannot tell

NYC Sibling Trip #5--Random Ramblings

The following are just some random pictures from our NYC Sibling Trip. In front of the fun Ferris Wheel in the world's largest Toys R Us.  Terry and Gail and David and I agreed that if we had had our grandchildren with us, we would have never been able to leave this store (at least with our pocketbooks intact.) A blurry picture of Van Gogh's Starry Night Loved this picture of Randy taking a photo on the Top of the Rock. I was hugging the inside wall because heights are just not my thing. I absolutely loved the Broadway play Matilda. Of course I did.  It was set in a school and was based on the children's book by Roald Dahl. We ate very, very well. This was a picture of our last breakfast together in NYC. Even grown-ups like to play. Largest peeps and largest peep collection I have ever seen. No, we didn't stay here, but we stayed at a very nice hotel thanks to Adrian's prowess at finding good deals. The United Nations as seen
