Snapshots of Christmas

A special weekend

I spent last weekend at my parents' house with all 5 of my siblings and my mom and dad. Here's me with 3 of my 4 sisters watching our amazing niece and nephew play basketball. I could get used to watching them every weekend--they were sooo good!!
Our very loved Mom was just diagnosed with lung cancer last week, and we all just had to be together for the weekend. We were soo grateful to hear today that it hasn't spread anywhere outside of the lung and are hopeful that with surgery it could be treatable. My mom and dad are still very much in love...had to capture this sweet moment... Here's my niece Jacquie doing Mom's hair. We all wait our turn for her to beautify us! I'm sure she gets rather tired of it, but she's a good sport about it.And the star of the weekend was my brother's son, James. He was the only little one to make it home with us, and he got a LOT of attention! We kinda think he's a genius...and just a bundle of fun! Here he is checking out some of the first big snowflakes of the year.
