Calling all Christmas Cards!!

Send in the photo you included or printed on this year's card and I'll post it here for all to enjoy. Hope you all have a great holiday. Lorel & Jim Maple

Tom and Mary Maple

Mary turned the big Six O this year and the girls all came to celebrate. Looks like Denise was getting a little present while she was holding baby Ben.

Look who did some hiking in the Grand Canyon National Park this year - The Kaibab Trail to be exact. And they just happened to have a camera along...

Here's a picture of all their grandchildren....and thanks for putting the names on the photo.

While we were enjoying the Maple Family Reunion at Jerry's farm, cousin Jane was warming up for her swearing in to the Virginia State Bar. All that studying has paid off big time. Was it all those episodes of L.A. Law and Ally McBeal that made her consider law school? Inquiring minds want to know.....

Bill & Jen Beschorner's Little Luke

Four months ago, little Lucas was born to Bill and Jen Beschorner of Baltimore MD. He arrived on May 14, 2008 weighing 8 pounds 15 ounces, (yeesh) and he has been a happy little camper ever since. Luke is the first grandchild of Bill and Sue Beschorner of Omaha NE. Look at the joy on his parent's faces!

A Streaming DJ in the Family!

As many of you know, Brigitt Eshagpoor (aka Brigitt Banks) is a DJ on a popular country station in Wilmington Delaware. You can check out her profile on the station website. Here's what she had to say about her station's new upgrade:

"Our station finally switched over to a new computer system which enables us to stream from our stations website. So if you ever wanted to hear me on the radio but lived outside of the Wilmington area, you can now catch me Monday-Friday from 10am-2pm (EST) at http://www.wwqq101.com/ on your computers. Of course you will still have to listen to country music, but you'll get to hear me too!
FYI the picture of me on the website was taken by my talented brother Ben.
Talk to you all later on the web,
Brigitt"

Pam: who is that in the picture that you are holding? I'm guessing Aron, no?
It was difficult sitting still with all of those presents next to us. Jerry is getting a head start :)
