The entire Walters clan gathered to celebrate Christmas this year -- in all, 28 folks from all over made their way through snow, sleet, and rain to be here for the big day. Some were delayed in their arrival, but all made it in time to celebrate at India's on Christmas. Erick will be putting together a Picaso slideshow, but for now we just thank God for family and friends and all the incredible blessings He has put in our lives. We were able to gather together to spread our parents' ashes at the favorite family picnic site (even though snow fell in large flakes all around us and threatened to thwart our attempt). It took us 11 years to all be together after Mom died to do this, and it was a very moving and memorable tribute.
As we prepare for the many changes that 2009 will bring, we know we'll have the memory of this short time together to look back on and smile. Everyone left Saturday and made it safely home, again with some delays, but home nonetheless.
Wishing each of you a surprisingly delightful 2009!

Thanksgiving in Lafayette '08
We are having a great time in Lafayette. We are glad Olivia and Nini were able to join in all the festivities. We even got some snow. Enjoy the pics.
