Happy Birthday December Babies!

What a special month to be born in December the same month we celebrate the Saviors birth. It's extra special for us because our two grandsons were born this month! Preston is the best gift we could receive and we're very happy and blessed.

We hope that all of you, our dear family, will have a peaceful and happy Christmas that's full of joy and love. We also wish Pete, Mike and Preston a very happy birthday.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year with love,

The Earl Family

Blessing

I wanted to post this even though I sent a note out on the GFL. Jayda's blessing was wonderful and was extra special because we had the pleasure of family come to visit!! Love you!

Latest Research

Dear Family,

I have researched some hotels right on the beach. The one that looks the best, with the most to do is the Wyndom Ocean Walk. It is connected to the boardwalk where all the fun is. (arcades, fireworks,bunji jump,several restaurants, shops,parasailing,boat rides,bonfire on the beach pit, water fountain for kids, and more.) It has a lazy river with slide, spa and several pools. The rooms have kitchens, and can sleep 4 to 6 people. The rate is $250 per night with a min. of a 2-night stay. Each family would take care of Breakfast and Lunch, and then we could meet some where for Dinner. Because of the price I am thinking a 2-night stay would be enough. By the way I read your emails I am still not getting definite choices. There are a lot of uncertainty in your choice’s, like,” if the majority wants one thing, then I would be ok with that choice.” I need you to tell me your choice either the beach or a cruise. Not whatever the majority picks I will be ok with, cause no one is being specific with their choice. I am not going to decide for everyone. Tell me which it is, the beach or the cruise. It looks to me like a cruise for a family of 2 or 3 would be a better deal than the beach, but if you are a family of 5 or 6 the beach would be a better deal. Although, we could put more than one family in a room and it would be a better price for the smaller families to go to the beach to. Just let me know.

All My Love,

Jeanette

Happy Birthday November Babies!

Well, after Jeri's big tribute to Ron I didn't want to move his blog out of the way. So I waited a few days before adding the rest of the November birthdays. We love you all just as much you guys! And we wish you a wonderful and happy birthday on your special day.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RON!!!

Ron is our very favorite brother!! Here are some of my favorite pictures of him. (Sorry, Rick, you are on your mission when this pic was taken.)

Ron is always in good form and always ready to help others.

Your sisters all love you very much.

You're the darling of your mother.

And best pal to your dad.

I have missed hearing from you, Ron. You are a grandpa now to a beautiful little girl! Can you believe it? Are you planning to come to our reunion? Thank you for being you. I love you so much! Jeri
