Christmas 2009

We didn't get a picture of the girls when they were together for the surprise anniversary party in July. And we weren't all together any time except that this year, so we don't have a printed card.

Since we are doing so much digital these days (even stopping delivery of the physical paper in favor of on-line), it feels like an appropriate time to take the Christmas Card digital.

Merry Christmas
Happy New Year for 2010

Now for the fun part, the pictures. Here's a walk down memory lane.

A special thanks to Helen D. Bull ("Mrs. Bool") for all the lovely dresses when they were young.

Thanks also to Nancy Cartledge for being organized enough to have some of the older pictures I was missing and communicative enough to have mentioned it before I started trying to gather pictures.

If anyone has a 1996 Hollingsworth Christmas card, let me know.

Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night!
