My mom kept crying because my dad's cancer was continuing to progress and we all knew this would probably be the last time we'd all be together.

Family Christmas photos!

Baby me with my dad's parents Hank & Connie. Guessing I'm like 2 here so probably 1978.

Came home and digitized a bunch of old photos at my parent's place.

Mom couldn't stop crying because she kept thinking about how it was probably dad's last Christmas (it was).

My dad's parents, Hank and Connie Battjer, with my cousins Chris and Steve. The one on the bottom is me blowing out birthday candles with my cousin Chris watching (and looking like a bug).

Also found a bunch of fantastic old photo albums. I snapped a couple of pics of my favorite pics. Here me with my parents and brother. I think this was from my 5th birthday - which would make it August 1981.

On Friday afternoon, my parents made the four of us get together for a photo in front of the fireplace (awww) before we all went our separate ways!

On Thursday night my parents came in to town and I took them out to dinner. I look like my mother almost as much as my dad looks like Peter Griffin (The Family Guy). Hahah.

For Christmas day, my grandparents and one of my mom's sister's family (The Carricks) came to our house. Christmas dinner in the house y'all. When I say "Hey," you say "Ho!" Now when I say "Je" you say "sus!"
