me + family + dad — My mom kept crying because my dad's cancer was continuing to progress and we all knew this would probably be the last time we'd all be together.

me + family + dad — Mom couldn't stop crying because she kept thinking about how it was probably dad's last Christmas (it was).

me + family + dad — This ornament is really cute. Love looking back at old photos. (Who would've guessed that about me, right?)

me + family + dad — Compared to this flashback pic from the late 90s!

me + family + dad — Happy Thanksgiving from the Battjers! <3

me + family + dad — Also found a bunch of fantastic old photo albums. I snapped a couple of pics of my favorite pics. Here me with my parents and brother. I think this was from my 5th birthday - which would make it August 1981.

me + family + dad — Chuck took this great photo of the rest of us. Future in-laws!!!

me + family + dad — On Thursday night my parents came in to town and I took them out to dinner. I look like my mother almost as much as my dad looks like Peter Griffin (The Family Guy). Hahah.

me + family + dad — Here are the fruits of his labor though. Well worth the wait!

me + family + dad — After the ties were fixed, it was time for family photos out on the back deck. Here's Brett, Pappi, mom and me.

me + family + dad — "Now throw your hands in the air and scream!"

me + family + dad — For Christmas day, my grandparents and one of my mom's sister's family (The Carricks) came to our house. Christmas dinner in the house y'all. When I say "Hey," you say "Ho!" Now when I say "Je" you say "sus!"

me + family + dad — Turkey Time! Going Clockwise from the front left: G-ma, G-pa, Aunt Sue, me, Pappi, Mami, Chad, Uncle Wayne, Aunt Elaine and Lindsay.
