Three Little Kids

Kirsten and Cale look like such big kids next to little Brady. We sure are going to miss having them and all the grandkids home for Christmas. Matt and Emily have been home the last two Christmas's. I was telling Dad last night that playing games aren't going to be quite the same without Matt MC-ing them. Matt just has a way of making the game playing just a little more fun! There will be no grandkids home for either Thanksgiving or Christmas. Kind of sad but that's the way it goes sometimes. They will all be with us in thoughts! (And hopefully in lots of pictures.)

I have Country Style Pork Ribs thawing on the counter. I was going to try find a new recipe but decided to do the one I usually do. It's one of the many recipes I got from Pam P. I just find some comfort whenever I make one of Pam's recipes. I think of her often but feel a special closeness whenever I make something I received from her.
