Christmas, etc.
The holidays begin with our annual Christmas Party, held on December 21st.
Here is Nancy and Elizabeth with great grandson, Kristopher.
John watches the activity and Joe holds Schnitzel, who is sporting bows left over from opening the presents.
Tom and Nancy Jeanne's family - daughter Shawna, granddaughter Kathryn and grandson, Kristopher.

Patrick had just twisted his ankle, but he grins and bears it! Tom and Elizabeth open gifts.

Tim and Chelsea arrive from San Antonio. Tim is playing like Chelsea is an Alien with an antennae on her head.
Christmas at the Lake
What a wonderful place to spend Christmas - the McGovern's Lake House on Lake Corpus Christi.
Here are niece Hannah, sons Patrick and Joe, Elizabeth, daughter-in-law Chelsea, son Andy and Nanny (Nancy).
We had 13 people and 9 dogs!. Left to right are Dee (Timmy's girlfriend), Elizabeth, Joe, Chelsea, Timmy and Patrick.
Of course, TV football is important as John, Jay, Joe, Patrick, Katy, Hannah and Joe gather round.
We first celebrated Elizabeth's birthday as Patrick brings the candle lit fruit cobbler with cream sauce that Chelsea made.
We then decorated the tree and the Christmas cookies that Elizabeth had made.
Elizabeth helps Papa decorate cookies. Jay wears his Santa hat and displays his "gift card" - (an inside joke).
We have Jay and Joe - celebrating the dogs!
We have Timmy and Dee.
Dee and Timmy and their 3 dogs. Other McGovern dogs have joined them in the kitchen - hoping that some food will drop!
Christmas tee shirts tell stories about our "Liberal" Chelsea and our "Preppy Tee Sip" Patrick.

Jay's tee shirt says, "I shook my Family Tree and a bunch of nuts fell out". Tim, Patrick, Joe, Andy, Chelsea and Elizabeth are the "supporting cast".
Timmy's Birthday
Dee, Timmy's girlfriend, made this great Trifle birthday cake. Elizabeth cooked the dinner.
Timmy serves the dish to Andy and the others.
Patrick, John (Papa) and Jay await their dessert.
Nancy (Nanny) and Joe have polished theirs off.
