When we get Christmas cards with pictures of the sender and/or family, I like to show them. I included Sandra’s Facebook posting also. Things were a little slow this year but it does provide me a chance to show off people from the past.

As usual, each of the families had there individual gift opening at there residences either on Christmas Eve or on Christmas morning. This was for the Langley’s, the Johnson’s and the Matt Loveless’ family. Of course Mark is in Arlington Texas with most of his family. Then around noon Christmas Day, everyone came to the house here in Tulsa for dinner. It was after dinner that we all exchanged gifts which is quite a trick for so many people. Three from the Langley’s, four from Matt’s (three of his kids were at there Mom’s for Christmas and got our gifts Christmas eve), four from Karen’s (had a new one from Karen’s as Kyle’s room mate from Stillwater was also here – Tyler Valdez ) and Marie and Bud. That’s 14 heads eating and opening gifts. Lordy if Mark and his total gang and Matt’s other 3 were here that would be another 14. After our get together some of the individuals were going to other dinners and gift exchanges so it was a little busy throughout the total day.
These are some of the pictures I picked up from FaceBook as published by Season. In case you don’t know who Season is, she is Keith Taylor’s (Marie’s nephew) daughter who lives in South Carolina with husband Fab and children JT and Faith.

I got back from Scott City a little after-noon and we headed to the Langley’s mid-afternoon. It was a hot day and people were arriving most of the afternoon. Steve’s sister Margaret and her son were up from Texas, Bud and Marie from Tulsa, Arlene Langley (Steve’s mom) from Broken Arrow OK, and Steve and Laura Langley and son Dustin from their place north-west of Skiatook.
There were card games played by some of the older folks and a lot of other stuff by the kids. Fire works were in use all afternoon and on into the evening.Laura, Marie and Arlene also picked black berries. A good time was had by all.

A few of Marie’s relatives are buried at the National Cemetery in Fort Gibson Oklahoma. These are a few of the headstones of her relatives. Marie visited the area on Sunday.

The grave site of Aunt Louise is at the Muskogee Oklahoma Cemetery.
These are some of the pictures taken by Jane and Bud at Marion. Jane was there on Friday and Bud was there on Sunday. It was a couple of hours trip for Jane to get to Marion. Bud had a four hour trip from Tulsa.
I believe Jane’s return trip to Topeka was un-eventful. Bud’s return trip was a bad one as I fought the rain and wind for the first two hours on the return to Tulsa.

It has been a number of years since Jim cleaned the stones at the family site. I did find that the head stone’s were some what dirty and need to be re-cleaned. I will get back there before next Memorial Day and give them a cleaning.
