A Yingst Thanksgiving 2011/ Christmas Gathering 2011

Thanksgiving 2011:This year, we vowed to have a smaller Thanksgiving gathering at my in-law's ranch. Those in attendance were: Mary/Buddy; Mamaw Yingst; Stanley/Sheila Yingst; Janet Scott (a dear friend of the family); and us!






We wanted to take some pictures nearby of Khloe (Peyton was with his dad this year for Thanksgiving) after dinner, so we pulled off at one of the Bella Vista lakes near our home. The sunset is always gorgeous there!

Here are some pictures:







I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families!!!


Christmas 2011:This year, the Yingst Family Christmas party was held at Stanley and Sheila Yingst's house. Thanks for hosting this special annual event!! For once EVERYONE in the family attended... which is a HUGE accomplishment in the Yingst bunch, because usually two or three families are missing... and they we have a large extended family!

Everyone enjoyed great food and "catching up!" (Note: I am not in one single picture, because - as usual - I was the one behind the camera catching the memories for everyone. LOL But, I don't mind...

Here are some wonderful pictures from our Christmas 2012!!
