Hello, Lynne! You have had a wonderful year with many lovely happy memories. So much to be thankful for, right? The grand kiddies are adorable and I am so happy Snicker is feeling good.
Enjoy your day and the weekend ahead! I wish you all the best in 2017, Happy New Years!

Great recap Lynne. It was a good year for you. Wishing you delightful times in 2017.

Jeanie said...

I love this, Lynne. I think we must have "met" around January because I remember how very concerned I was about Snickers, this dog I didn't even know. And of course the new littlest ones in your life. I'm so very glad we happened onto each other this year and look forward to many more visits in 2017.

This is fantastic Lynne! Wish I had the forethought to do the same!
I would have a very hard time picking just a "few" pics!
Hope you and Mr Irish House have a stupendous New Years...
Love to you..
