Merrry Christmas Robinson Clan

Today is Christmas Eve I wanted to tell all the members of my family, that I love each and every one of you. Last night was Mom & Dad's family party but it seemed quite empty without the missing members. We miss you - Lana, Stan, Bethany, Jake, Cody, Josie, Larry, Michelle, Megan, Corby, Kailey, Chelsey, Heather, and Paige - and love you.

This year saw the end of a long standing Christmas Tradition. Mom and Dad served the Christmas roast at the family party not on Christmas. It seems like the end of an era. Families will now carry with their own traditions.

As I contemplate the holiday tommorrow I feel the love of family and my Heavenly Father. We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Love
Colleen

Picture Alert!!!!!

Help!!!!
Please e-mail any recent pictures of you and your families. I working on something for Mom and Dad and recent pictures will just add. They can be vacations, sports, anything. Send to cwood@gslelectric.com .

The holidays are upon the Wood household. We did get the trees and decorations up but it looks like no outdoors lights on the Wood house this year. Bah humbug!

Where has this last year gone? I can not believe that we are only a few weeks from a new year.

With Larry in Tucson, Lana in Orlando and LaNece going to Moab I am having family withdrawal. We have always lived in close enough proximity we can get together whenever we want. Now it takes planning. I love and miss your all. Have a joyful and merry Christmas and New Year.

Love
Colleen

Christmas upon us!

Oh my! I can't believe it's December. Seriously, I really can't believe it's December. We went and got our tree (the first time in how many years without the Davis family, Julie? I miss our family date...) and it was beautiful. The sun was out and the kids were in tanks and shorts. It's going to be a struggle this first year to get in the spirit (Stan reminded me that's how it was in Hawaii as well. Was it the same for Tucson, Larry?), so we pulled out all the decorations we can find and will hit the holiday tunes hard as much as we can without driving Stan and Jake insane(and try not to giggle about the "let it snow" lines and references to "frightful" weather).

Life goes on here and things are busy. Cody has been doing some amazing things on tests here and just excels in the classroom. Josie is enjoying school and has more friends all the time. She's having a small party for her birthday; we're taking the girls to "Enchanted," which I have heard is cute. Bethany has kept you all up to date on what happening with us.

Stan and I did the Space Coast and all I can say is that we finished...not well...but we finished. That counts, right? It was hatefully hot without a lick of breeze. Pretty sure I'm going to lose three toenails from this one...a new record. Yippee. So at this point, Nece, I would feel a fraud to offer any advice. Okay, I'm really just sulking...and we already talked about it.

Anyway, just wanted to tell everyone that I love you all so much. The holidays just aren't the same without you...
