HOWARD CHRISTMAS-2007

♥♥SUZANNE, MADASAN, JO ANN, SHEYANNE♥♥

Christmas night was filled with excitement when the Howard clan gathered at Michael and Joanna's home. We had great food, the kids exchanged gifts and the adults had to play Richard's Swap Game. (He makes the rules according to the number he draws.) ☺

I'm have pictures of the families that were in attendance.

1. Top left-This is Danny's family. Tela and Ace were missing. Ace was in Houston with his new bride's family and Tela had to leave before we took pictures. She did have a big announcement. She and Russell are engaged and plan to get married in April.

2. Top right-This is Ronnie's family. Dana, Shelby and Sammy were not able to attend.

3. Lower left-This is Tom's family. Sonia was visiting her husband's family in Arizona.

4. Lower right-This is Baby Richard's family.

5. Large and in living color is my family. Suzanne, Madasan, Jo Ann and Sheyanne. (I think we need to change Madasan to Madasanne...)

If you will notice that all of the families are standing in front of the SCRAPPER TREE. My girls and I ARE NOT-after all we are OUTLAWS and you know how we feel about Scrappers even if they are family.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADASAN AND FROSTY!

♫♫♫HAPPY BIRTHDAY♫♫♫
*
Family and friends helped to celebrate Madasan Billee's twelfth birthday Saturday, December 22, 2007.

*
A few days earlier Madasan's show heifer, Hoppy, became the proud mama of a new baby calf. Without hesitation, Madasan bestowed the name of FROSTY upon him. We were hoping the baby would be a female since Madasan gets so attached to her animals but since it turned out to be a bull we are hoping he will have all of the characteristics of his mom and can go to the fairs next year and eventually become a herd bull. If not....steers are not in big demand on the Broken M Farm.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM JO ANN AND TUFF

This picture has a cute story attached. I took the girls pictures and they took my digital camera card to Wal-Mart to have their Christmas cards made. This picture was on the card so they thought it would be so cute for me to have a card from Tuff and me so they had ten printed up and brought them to me. I did send four of his Corgi friends one of the cards. Rudy, Jack, Tess and Audrey got one. I also sent one to his original owner's dogs. They are the reason I have Tuff. They fought so much they had to be separated. I'm sure they will be sooooo happy to see their friend is doing well and that his ears and neck have healed up nicely.

I will be serving breakfast to my daughter and her family on Christmas morning and then the girls will tear into their presents. Then on Christmas night we go to my nephew's home where about forty Howard's will gather to feast and enjoy each other's company.

*

We have one other celebration before Christmas and that is Madasan's twelfth birthday. We will celebrate that BIG EVENT on Saturday, December 22.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS to all my friends and family.

This is my daughter and her family. They have on their Broken M Farm t-shirts and added Romeo and Fuzzy to the picture. Madasan wanted to have her horse in the photo but the cows wouldn't let the horse close enough to snap the picture so we had to do separate pictures.

CHRISTMAS BUNKO PARTY

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Our December Bunko party was at Erin Wright's in Mineral Springs. After being served a delicious spaghetti supper we played Bunko until we dropped.

-

As you can see from the picture several of the ladies wore their pajamas. If you look real close you will see that one on the back row has rollers in her hair. (Her halo is a little off center.) This is Julia, the queen of the Bunko Babes.

-

On our way home we stopped at Julia's parents and serenaded them with a Christmas song.

-

This is a great group of ladies. Just knowing them and getting together with them brightens my day.
