New Years Eve





























We had a pretty good New Years Eve this year. We had family come over and Mandy made the best artichoke dip and cheese dip along with my little smokies wrapped in bacon. "YUM". Tom, Shelbie, Ed and I usually pay my brother Alan and sister in law Diane and family a visit for New Years Eve. We would always have a great meal and wait around for the New Years Eve to crack at the break of dawn. Tom and Shelbie would beat on pans and run up and down the streets of Brigham yelling Happy New Year. I miss those days so much. I really miss my daughter Shelbie who's life was taken in an automobile accident when she was 16. She brought laughter to our home and those that were around her. It has left an emptiness in our lives. She would have so much fun being able to hang out with her cousins and aunt and uncle not only on New Years but whenever we had the chance to go visit. Her memories go on and are never forgotten as we experience the holidays with the rest of the family without her. Our night started off watching the Jazz, eating, playing pool and beating on the drums not to mention the grandkids playing and having a GREAT time. People around us were lighting off fire works as if it was the fourth of july. Not to mention a few Tom lit off. LOL Great times and memories that will last forever. I love my family so much.
