Christmas 2010

Oh my! Aren't we a good looking group?
The best thing about this picture is that
we're all in it! Yippee!



When we weren't modeling the latest in headgear, we
were discussing Christmas fashion. Mindy and Kim
came wearing their best Christmas PJ's and slippers
while Mike shopped to find the ugliest red sweater
possible to wear.

This year I didn't have the benefit of my computer
guru , Laurie, so left to my own devices I managed
to put together a Team calendar on Shutterfly! Check
out how intently everyone is looking through the pages.
No doubt they're looking to see which of the many pictures
I took over this past year made the cut!

For me, last years book and this calendar are filled
with treasured memories of lots of special times together.



While I can't give you a tour of the entire calendar,
check out the cover page. Karen is featured on the right
because she joined our group at the end of the Summer,
after our great team photo, featured on the left, was taken.



From the Dyer family (including Scout pictured
Tipper, Skye, Peanut, Tigger and Bella )
Charlie and I wish you , our dear friends, a very
happy and blessed Christmas!

Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!

Kim enjoyed some time away in Florida but now that she's
back home, we managed to surprise her with a belated
birthday party!


Kim has become an avid runner in both 5K and 10K races
so with that in mind, all of her gifts were running related.
Check out that smile! It surely tells you everything that
you need to know! She was thrilled with a gift bag filled with
great treats all for a serious runner.

Once she finished checking out all of her goodies,
it was time to have some sweets and as always Mindy
made Kim's favorite cake!

Can you tell that we have a great time together, and oh
the cake! Yummy! You know the team. Hiding behind the
napkin is our Kristi ( a member of the WPP, just kidding),
Mike, Mindy, Karen, Kim, Jay and in the front row sitting
Melinda and Sally. Laurie and Brian weren't able to join us.

Oh my! We made short work of that cake!
What fun!

We've enjoyed a great series of DVD's by Louie Giglio and
tonight we enjoyed his newest one called the "12 Words
of Christmas" as found in Luke 2: 10-11.
