'parker' christmas party

another "parker" christmas party.  the number of brothers and sisters is diminishing, but the posterity is growing tons!  some think that it may be getting too large to really get together, but i'm sure grandma and grandpa parker, look down and see their family together and it must bring them alot of joy and satisfaction, for isn't 'family' what it's all about? 
it's always fun to see the cousins, their families and the resemblence that is passed from one generation to the next.  only thing i regret, is that i didn't get a picture of the remaining brother and sisters together. ~ ann, bonnie, and grant. 
austin and cade

adam, dalton, holli, and kiley
nyah, hiloree, and gage
kamryn, and jack - not so sure about santa
santa was the "best" this year.  so full of the jollies!
santa "who has a favorite christmas song"?
isley raises her hand and tells him her favorite song is
"i wub to see da tempow".
it was quite the site to see and hear everyone sing "i love to see the temple". someone made the comment, that grandpa mac and grandma alice parker were smiling in heaven. i'm sure they were!

trudie and aunt ann
aunt ann just celebrated her 90th birthday on november 16.  we love her and love to have her still here with us (although, somedays she thinks different).
we missed having chet, tiff, and the kids with us this year.  tiff's brother was married in california, so they spent the thanksgiving holiday down there.
thanks to uncle grant and his family for another great family reunion!

**one of the highlights each year is... brian parker's kids always come with the 'ads' to show santa just what they want.  it's hilarious!
