Book 17 Ancestral Memory Pre-Christmas



Serena has written 17 books about our families. H&T were 8, Monica was 13, when she wrote the first book.
The artwork she generates on the cover of the books is amazing.
Raven and My-Tam are the names of our characters in the books.
Ancestral Memory, Book 17. Stories of our families living on Tarbone Mountain thousands of years ago.
A labor of love.

We opened presents too. Rylee got her turn, a lot.
The Boyz in their new red "long-johns".

Not sure what is going on here.
Rylee got some "real" make-up from her Auntie M.
Her Daddy might be in for a shocker.
Joe and Serena were all smiles as usual. Barclee, not so much.
Even the wrapping for the book was amazing.
Rylee got a purse for her new make-up.
Joe, and his little buddy; Barclee.
Ken remembers wearing this kind of undies when he was a kid.
Great host and hostess for the Pre-Christmas party, Adam and Monica.
Aunt Alyson gave Rylee an apron matching her own for their cooking party.
Alyson and her great smile. Not so sure about Tanner, maybe he is being "Fonzie".
Rylee always has a great time with Caddy.
Hunter and Marti were in Holiday Cheer.
MMMM! Monica's fabulous tortellini. My favorite.
Food from the land, elk and bison roasts. Fabulous.
Pretty girls three.
Marti, Joe and Barclee
They look like they are planning something.
Marti brought cookies and Rylee approved.
Aunt Monica helping Rylee with her hair-do.
Marti and Ken relaxing on the couch. Wonder what is in those cups.
PawPaw and Rylee.
Goodies everywhere.
