Merry Christmas!
When I pulled together our occasionally annual Christmas letter to family and friends last Saturday, I wrote, 'I'm sharing family pictures on the blog at LindaStoll.net on Christmas Day, so please stop by at some point and get a glimpse of who we are in this season.'
I was way past trying to design some kind of photo card or figure out how to get a picture from my phone to the letter on my quite outdated laptop. Yes, I am hugely technologically challenged.
If your eyes glaze over when people whip out their phones and show you 89,000 pics of their family, well, yes, I absolutely understand if you want to move on.
Here's the snapshots of our life in 2019 ...
a delicious black & white cookie {or 3}
was the perfect way to celebrate Mom's 89th
the tail end of April is still fairly misty & frigid at the beach ...
Tom, Kristin, Alexa, & Brooke didn't mind at all
Jenn graduated from nursing school at the top of her class ...
wow, what a celebration!
our annual Father's Day extended family gathering ...
no one gets a hamburger 'til the picture is taken
Brooke {9} Melanie {11} Andrew {13}
Kathryn {14} Alexa {10} Lydia {16}
Kathryn {14} Alexa {10} Lydia {16}
Barry . Kathryn . Melanie . Jenn . Andrew . Lydia
Kathryn is really sleeping
yes
Andrew . Brooke . Alexa
pretend sleeping, i think
Lydia . Kathryn . Jenn
definitely faking it
they all found sweatshirts their size & had to try them on ...
shoppers scattered at the noisy commotion
we miss you little Tyler ...
you're never far from our thoughts, sweet boy
Alexa . Brooke . Pa
the best pics are when no one cares that Ma's aiming her phone
Jenn . Melanie . Kristin
Brooke . Kristin . Alexa
best beach day ever
best beach day ever
um ... well ... what can i say
this is what 64 looks like {sigh}
Lydia does a color-run fundraiser for missions with
her great-uncle who she hadn't seen since she was a baby
Alexa . Brooke
i love this sweet, cozy picture
i love this sweet, cozy picture
Kathryn flies in for some 1 - 1 time ...
we didn't plan to be twins
happy 65th, Tim ...
you are loved, for sure
no one gets a turkey dinner until we pull together
this rare pic of my mom with her whole family
when i grow up, i want to be just like my daughters ...
they're absolutely incredible women
i told them to turn around & smile
& wonder of wonders, they did
Lydia . Kathryn
they're beautiful in every way
quietly heading into the new year
