Christmas in 2006

BLOG NOTE: The first three photos on this blog came from the David and Gayle McVay blog.




Marilyn Powell and her "baby brother" David McVay -= Christmas 2007

Below are Gayle McVay and Shirley McVay. Christmas at Mary McVay's home






We were blessed to spend Christmas with Mary McVay (Marilyn's Mom) her sister Shirley, and her Borther and Sister-in-law Gayle.




We had been in Hawaii and almost didn't have a Christmas Tree. But Bill begged and with those big brown eyes how can anyone say no?




Before going to Dallas for a few days Marilyn got a wonderful suprize. A ring of the doorbell, a box and Wow! Thank You Mary, Cameron, and Sam.




Sam Engle and his Get Fuzzy Calendar. Some how Sam is just always happy and get along with both kids and adults. His hair ? Well that's the style in California. But we still love him. We used to call his "Puddles" but now he wants to be called "Yosemitie Sam."




We are so blessed. We have a new and wonderful son-in-law. Cammeron Maddux has brought a lot of love to Mary our daughter and our grandson Sam.





It was fun spending time with our daughter Mary Maddux. She seems so happy and so much in love. As parents what more could we ask for our daughter?


Our very wonderful hosts. Drs. Suvid and Alice (Powell) Pita. They were so kind to take us in right after Christmas.

They were even willing to house Cammeron and Mary Maddux (Powell) and Sam Engle.

When the thunderstorms hit the midwest the Dallas airport was closed and they stayed with us at the Pita's longer than originally planned.

Thank you for the rain so we could have more fun with them.
