Christmas 2009

We went to Ocala, Fla. for Christmas to Adam & Lynn's. This is getting ready for Christmas dinner. Uncle Jake [Lynn's brother] riding on the driveway with Will on the bike that Noey out grew. Will did great! Riding a bike with training wheels and pedalling his little heart out.

Dad got a what?? He got a Snuggy! And LOVED it.


Happy birthday, Jesus!
We went to Silver Springs on Christmas Eve. Rod and I were having kind of a hard time feeling as though it were Christmas since it was about 60 degrees. Walking through this park helped immensely. As we walked around and followed the paths for about 1 1/2 hours, we viewed Christmas lights in every shape and size with carols playing all around us. It was wonderful and exactly what we needed.
Merry Christmas [in case you couldn't read this]


Papa and Noah walking around the back yard. It was huge and full of trees draped in this willowie moss every where. There were armadillo holes all around and I never did see any. Supposedly they come out in the evening and through the night. I really looked!

Just looking at the jungle behind the fence in the back yard. What an awesome yard for the boys!

Noey is now every bit 4 1/2 years old. He is so loving and was constantly telling us how much he loved us. Of course, we ate it up! : }


We were taking a walking tour of the vet. clinic right on the other side of the fence to Adam & Lynn's back yard. The land was beautiful and to be able to walk down the driveway to work if you wanted to, is simply awesome.

Dr. Lusk [Jr.] : } When dad went to work with Adam one day, they called Adam over the intercom saying, "Drs. Lusks". Everyone laughed : }

Showing dad the area where the horses stay after surgery. Way cool!!!


An orange tree right in the front yard. They were scrumptious!



Lynn in her wonderfully, huge kitchen. She was such a wonderful hostess. We had a fabulous time!
OK, this is one week before Christmas. Rob came up to celebrate Christmas with us. Phil couldn't come due to a catering job commitment. We missed you, Philip!


Every year after all the presents are opened, dad always hides a very small gift in the tree for me to hunt for. I love it! : }

Pattie and Bruce sent me this fur scarf. It's really adorable and looks a lot better with my black coat. I love the fur rose on it!

Robby still gets a stocking to go through Christmas morning. I made this one almost 29 years ago..WOW!

The youngest child is always the one that gets to hand out ALL the presents to each person. Since Phil wasn't here, the job naturally went to Rob. He acted as though it was such a chore, but I saw him smiling!

The Fla lusks' home looks so cozy with all that land and nature everywhere. You stated that there was a jungle behind the fence, are there any animals that have come into their yard or dare I say house?
