True to his word, the weather man said we would have warm weather for Christmas and we did. I’m glad in a way so the little ones could play outside.
We had Christmas Eve dinner Friday with our daughter in Grenada, Donna Garripoli. Brad, Frankie and Bradley Holliday joined us. Christmas morning we got up early and rode to Sunflower to see what Santa had brought grandson, Brewer Deck. We visited with Derek, Jane Clair and Katie and then came on back and rested the rest of the day.

Holly Dukes’ grandmother, Carol Gentry, from Florida was in Enid visiting her daughter and son-in-law, Lisa and Rabbit Havens, for a few days during the Christmas holiday. She got to spend some time with her great granddaughter, Haven Rose Dukes. I bet she spoiled my great grandbaby.

Tommy and Debbie McCool spent Christmas with her daddy, Ray Bell; and her sister, Karen, at her daddy’s home. Karen’s daughter-in-law and her grandchildren were there also. Both of Debbie’s and Tommy’s girls, Kimberly and Jason Beavers and Angela and Pat Dukes and their families were there.
Faye Hartley said they had a wonderful Christmas in their home with Nathan, Betsy, Rowland, Mary Brett, McLendon, Kristie and Mark – lots of good food and fellowship and presents. I know the kids were so excited.
Happy birthday to Kevin Harris and Hayden Jackson, who share a birthday on the 27th; Ronnie Bailey and Jerry Martin share a birthday on the 28th; Henry Jackson, Connie Cockerel and her son, Casey Cockerel, Adam Chambers, Donnie Dotson and Jean Simmons Durham all share a birthday on the 29th; Phillip Cross and Tamitha Jackson celebrate on the 30th.
