CATHY AND PETE HAVE A NEW LITTLE GUY

Dear Family,

Cathy delivered her new baby yesterday and here you see Mom and little guy dressed in Xmas cheer not long after the delivery.  Cathy did well and the boy, Henrie Mc Entire O. is healthy and strong and Cathy beaming with this great Xmas gift.

This is Cathy's fourth child.  We saw all the others in the hospital and they are excited!  It is our 75th grandchild! and we are thrilled as well.

Here is little guy.  Lots of comments who he looks like, it is early but one can't help but notice the nose and the hint of a furrowed brow.  We are so thrilled for this new addition and feel so blessed as a family.

The Xmas season is full upon us.  We still had visitors this last week.  Roy and three boys drove down from Colorado.  They stayed at Doug s and by reports, there was not a lot of sleeping going on there as all romped and played.  Roy came over and fixed some equipment and helped Mom with her Mac computer as she was trying to get the Xmas card organized.  Doug, Roy and I had some great time together as we pursued hobbies.

Roy, Emily, John and family, Cheryl, Paul and kids, Mike, Rayanne and family, Cathy. Pete and kids all came up last Sunday for the blessing of Doug and Christina's baby, Elena Stephanie.  We all gathered in church and after the Blessing, Doug gave a Christmas talk in Church.  We went to Doug's after and had one of those  great mini get togethers.  Christina had a great buffet with everyone bringing their specialty treat.

Mom and I headed to a Single Adult Ward where we gave our  Xmas talks.  It was a full Sunday!  I am up more and in better shape than last week although I have not started in the Temple yet.

Next big family event is on Saturday night with our Xmas Eve gathering, Nativity and dinner.  Santa may make a surprise early visit.

We are so grateful for our blessing at this time of the year, for life, new life and the love we have in the family.

Alles Gute und eine frohe Weihnachtzeit wuenschen Oma und Opa!
