We had a great time at Allison and Steve Tofflemire’s New Year’s Eve party. Katie Beth lasted until around 9:30 or so, but she finally went to sleep. The company and food were both great, too.
We watched what is becoming a tradition to see the ESPN motorcycle stunt of jumping something big. This year it was Robbie Maddison jumping on top of a replica of France’s iconic monument, the Arc de Triomphe at the Paris Casino in Las Vegas.
Beverly is topping off my first tasting of the Porter. It is similar to the original Porter, but it different. I don’t remember what is making it different.
The Porter is Olde Towne’s Winter Seasonal.
Katie Beth and Little Connell are opening the Christmas gift from her cousin Brooke and Bailey.
Katie Beth tried to help with the yard work. She would move things from one pile to the next and then back again.
Katie Beth’s enjoyed her toys Christmas morning. You can see the tents/maze in this photo.
Even our cat, Carpet, is liking the tents/maze. She has run through it numerous times this morning. The only problem is that it fills our den as you can see.
Karen made a great Christmas meal. We had organic green beans, which were very good. But first we started with a green bean incident. 
I opened some Allen brand Italian green beans only to find the can was empty of green beans and full of water and small pieces of green beans. We had mashed sweet potatoes topped with brown sugar, pecans, and marshmallows.
Our main course was a wonderful turducken, which you can see here.
Father Gary New baptized our Katie Beth today. We followed the baptism with brunch at our house.
I will be posting photos soon.
Today is Karen’s birthday!
Happy Birthday Karen!
We are home still recovering from our sicknesses and trying to catch up on our shopping.
Karen has a new illness which has her in bed. Hopefully, she will start improving soon.
I am shopping with Katie Beth. We are heading home to make lunch and put Katie Beth down for a nap. I picked up some chicken broth for Karen.
Our train is near the outer parts of Memphis. Katie Beth is still sleeping.
We see the lighted bridges that span the Mississippi River.
