New Year's Eve!

 This is a picture Clyde took of my brother Bob and and my mother's   grandfather clock.  It is double exposed in the days when you could do that (and did do that quite often by accident).  This was done intentionally.  I thought it was a cool picture for New Year's Eve and the passing of time.  

 This an Advent party at our apartment in Frankfurt Germany.  I am in the back in the middle, Marianne is in the front, Bob is in his favorite outfit - his cowboy shirt (it was either that or fatigues).  The table is surrounded by the GI's that were always at our home.  I do remember the shorter ones name was Allen.

I can't remember if I posted this one or not but it is me getting Carianne and her sisters ready for the Christmas pageant when we lived in North Carolina.  That year instead of Santa Claus coming to the Christmas party, the Three Wise Men came.  


I think, starting tomorrow, I will post pictures of the people and events that are important that month.  For example, in January there are several birthdays and anniversary's in our family.  I will post pictures leading up to each event.  I hope you enjoy this as much as you have enjoyed the Christmas and Thanksgiving blogs.

More VA Christmas Pictures

These are more pictures from the first Christmas at the VA house.  The top one is Pam and Heather and the bottom one is Heidi.  Pam is at the computer in the dining room and Heidi is standing in front of the fire place in the living room.  Heather and Heidi are wearing t-shirts G'ranne had sent them that year from the 'Reindeer Run' for the Association she was working for at the time.

We Interrupt Christmas for..

This is one of my favorite pictures of Carlye.  She is about 4 in this picture.  Today she turns 10.  She had the courtesy of having her birthday on our wedding anniversary so her grandfather would never forget it!  Happy Birthday Carlye Anne Pfiester!  We love you very much!

Today is Clyde's and my 38th anniversary.  The above picture is our engagement picture taken Christmas of 1971.

This picture was taken by the girls on our 25th annivesary.

This picture is part of the Christmas card we sent out the first year Clyde was bishop.  He will have been bishop 4 years in January.  Happy Anniversary Clyde!  I am so happy we have been taking this journey together!

My First Christmas Tree

This is a picture of me decorating my first Christmas tree in San Antonio.  I was 5.  It is in my playroom and I had great time and actually took almost a week getting it just the way I wanted it.  We had a few more trees that were just for the kids there but never again after we left San Antonio the first time. I am standing on a chair we bought when we went to the bullfights in Mexico.

Grandchildren Christmas Pictures

I have many Christmas pictures of the grandchildren but the  bottom one of these two is probably one of my favorite.  It is Bella, Marcus and Baby Anneke.  The top one is of Anneke with Santa Claus.

Just For Fun!

 Bella with her Christmas gifts when they lived in Las Vegas.

Omi and Grandpa Tuttle at Aunt Norma's reception.  This was in their front living room in the house that  Popi and Grandma Doreen live in now.

Heidi in our duplex on the VA grounds in Kerrville the second Christmas there.  The reason I know that is because the boxes were starting the fill up the dining room and the other corners of the living room, so we moved the tree that year.  It was in the opposite corner the year before.  This would be Christmas 1995.  In two months we would be moving to Utah.  We have had a wonderful Christmas here.  I will download pictures just as soon as I run out of Christmas Past pictures to post!

Merry Christmas!

These are a collection of Christmas pictures of grandchildren.  The top three are Santa pictures with Baby Luke Bahlmann, second Anneke Bahlmann and then Marcus Bahlmann from 2007.  The bottom picture is Spiderman (Nathanael) and Snow White (Carlye) Pfiester.  I am not sure what year the last picture was taken.
