Dave's family... good times!

Saturday Dave's sister from Post Falls was in town and so the family got together for a pre-Christmas good time. We all met at Old Country Buffet and had some lunch, it was a great time. I always forget to take pictures and so I am glad I did this time, I got some great ones!

Sami and her cousin Rebecca Bishop... they have a slurpee type dispenser there, Sami kept asking me for blue water, and I figured that just had to be it, she enjoyed it, as you can tell.

Matt and Khole Bishop... Shelly (Dave's sister ), James Bishop (he is a tough kid... downs and autistic), he is such a good sport, and my mother in law Barb... The teenage corner... Casey Bradley, NaDine Mason, and Rachel Mason. Casey and NaDine are my nieces and Rachel is my youngest sis in law... these girls are way close as friends and spent a lot of time with each other growing up... they are all super cute girls and I am glad I get to be part of there family. Casey just survived a dog attack... tough girl, and Rachel turns 17 in a week... there cool because they don't just tell there annoying aunt/sister Sara to just go away.. I know they want to though! =) My awesome in-laws Tim and Laura Bradley. They are from Post Falls we are going to be seeing them a lot more when we move to Spokane next year... we are hoping they might hook Dave up with a job... we will see I guess! Brent... need I say more and somehow MaryAnn missed the camera, this is Dave's oldest, and only brother... they share the love of games and working out and so many other things... And of course Mrs. D being the high light... she was a joy to watch as she munched down her carrots and roll and shared mom's cheesecake... she was a hit! The newest addition to the Mason family.. Evalyn... she is adorable and check out all that hair... Daphne is jealous! Emily's husband Chris is over in Iraq right now... Love and honor to him this time of year. He comes home the end of February and is dyeing to see more of his baby girl... that he has only spent like 2 weeks with so far.

Emily drove me and my girls over to the place because since it snowed I was afraid the roads would be bad, I felt pretty silly when we got on the main roads and they were pretty bare except for some slush... but Emily didn't seem to mind.... gonna miss her when she moves back to Colorado next month, I can't say the same for Sergant , her giant dog, that my girls are afraid of... (and me, he's huge), but she needs to be with her hubby, yeah for them!

Well, it was a great afternoon spent with the family. Dave couldn't leave work to come, and didn't have the option to plan around it. The only sibling of Dave's not there were Sarah who lives in Nevada. So 6/7 ain't bad... even though Dave wasn't actually there... but close enough. He was represented! It's great being in Washington where when we can see his family basically whenever we want... I feel bad because we don't see them enough... but I guess it's the thought that counts! =)

Thanks guys for letting me be apart of your family! Love you all!
