Christmas 2011

First of all, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.   We are blessed beyond words.  It is amazing to see God's work all around us.  That is the best gift of all.   This year we traveled to the Thome's in Knoxville to celebrate with the Sharpless Family.  What a great time we had!   The kids loved being with their cousins, and we enjoyed catching up with Rita, JT, Greg, Karen and Grammy and Paw Paw.   A special thank you to Rita and JT for hosting.  We had a wonderful time and you were both gracious hosts.   We love you and wish you continued blessings for 2012.  




More pictures to follow.....I have to figure out how to upload pix from my NEW camera!
