My Baking Club

On Sunday, December 16, 2012, my nieces Amy, Jen, Tyler and my nephew Sevan
came over to their grandmom Vicki's house to bake with me. We have a family tradition of meeting every December and baking cookies.
I taught my nieces and nephews how to bake. We all have a great time baking cookies and we take pictures with their grandmom Vicki. I was so happy we kept it in the family. I am so glad that my nieces and nephews bake with me. When my great niece Stella gets older, she will bake with us, Shellie, my nephew Ron, Mat, Alex, Brian, Leo and my niece's dog Henry.
I love baking with all my nieces and nephews.
Love, Aunt Diane

The ORDination of Julie

On Friday, Harry, Veronica and Colleen drove up to New York to see Julie Hoplamazian become a priest (ordination) on Saturday, December 8th, 2012. "To the sacred order of priests to become a priest in the church of the cathedral of the incarnation garden city of New York."
The music was so great. The church was so beautiful. Julie did a beautiful job. I am so proud of my cousin Julie. I took great pictures of everything. Afterwards we all went to the hall to have some food.
We saw lots of family. We had such a great time.
The sermon Julie gave was beautiful.
We are so proud of Julie.
Love, Cousin Diane

Mom, Ed and I went to Harry and Veronica's house for Christmas. Colleen, Jon, Henry, Brian, Lizzy and her mom were there. Veronica's sister Caroline, her brother-in-law and her nephew were there. We had such a great time. I took lots of pictures. Harry and Veronica were great cooks, they had great food. We sat around the table and talked for a long time. I had so much fun with my niece Colleen and my nephew Brian. The Christmas tree was so pretty.
