Cousins

The decendents of the Kelley family gathered at Jeanne Healey's house to share fun and games.

Greece - May 2006

Anna took a trip to Greece, where she ate a lot of mousakka and bakklava, and she saw a lot of ancient sites. The Acropolis in Athens (Athina), the Olympic Stadium in Olympia, the Oracle at Delphi, and much more. Here are a few snapshots, which could never capture the beauty of this Mediterranean paradise.

The weather has been so mild these days!

Anna's Christmas 2006

Oh, the weather outside was frightful, but the times - they were delightful! Lots of good family fun on Christmas, with Celia and sons having Christmas in their new Massachusetts home!

Shawn's turning 40 - Time to PARTY!!

Everyone came to help us celebrate... There were the Ross' - Tom & Beth; and the BAD BOYS from High School: Kaya and Mark; the godmother Cecelia and the auntie Tricia; and all the younger generation - Mattie, Lindsey, Trevor, Brendan, and Jake. The world was happy for one night, in our little corner of the earth. Happy Birthday, Shawn!!

December - the time of Birthdays!

Yes, there were a lot of birthdays in December for the Kelley-Davis Family! Not only did my eldest son, Shawn Davis, turn 40 on Dec. 12th (right after his cousin Chris Anderson turned Nov.22) but his brother, Rick, turned 38. And Carol, Shawn's mother-in-law has a milestone birthday the day before (or is it after) Christmas, Shawn's cousin Paul Morris had a birthday on Christmas day! Shawn's godmother, Cecelia Kelley turned 21 on the Winter Solstice (Dec. 21). And finally, Shawn's neice, Mattie, had a birthday on the same day as Shawn - Dec. 12th. But she'll have a long way to go to catch up to Uncle Shawn. If you add up all those years....let's see 40+40+....that's about 220 years (Whew! The math is challenging.)

December Fun in the Snow for Cousins

Here's the next generation - enjoying the winter wonderland at Cameron's Inn on the Green, E. Bridgewater. Oh, What a night it was!

December...the birthday blast!

November

Where did November go? We had such fun with Birthdays and Thanksgiving. So busy having fun, that we forgot to upload the story to share. Here's a few pictures of family fun. Anna had a big birthday this month!

The Cake Cutting Ceremony

Rick and Alyssa

cut the cake with humor and light-hearted fun. One of marriage's first duties - sharing the food! Shall we cut the cake, my dear?

The groom's men: Dennis, Andy, Steve, Tom. 

The Vows of Love Everlasting

Alyssa and Rick

exchanged vows with one another and promised to cherish each other all the days of their lives. The bride's maid of honor - Kara - looks on with tears of joy in her eyes. The groom's best man and brother - Shawn - held his breath as the solemn vows of fidelity were said. The ceremony was perfect in every way....with so much happiness that even the crankiest person in the world would have felt joy.

My Son is Married

June 18, 2005 was the big day for Rick and his beautiful bride, Alyssa. The joy that was theirs on that day was immeasurable, and radiated throughout the day to all who were there to join in their special day. Presenting....Mr. and Mrs. Rick and Alyssa Davis. Joining them in this photo is their flower girl and neice, Lindsey Davis.

Holy Ghost Church in Whitman, Massachusetts

This is the church where Alyssa Margro walked down the aisle with her brother Ben, to the waiting arms of the man she would marry - Rick Davis. Rick stood by with his best man and brother, Shawn, as they watched her walk down the aisle to the beautiful music of Pachebel (Canto in D.). The family and friends gathered in this church on that day all witnessed the couple honoring their parents and one another by their solemn exchange of vows to live in love for ever after.

April Showers Bring Alyssa Flowers - and Presents for the Bride-to-be!

What fun when everyone gathered together at Jimbo's restaraunt in Braintree to surprise Alyssa with a wedding shower. Her friend Kara took her out for brunch, but failed to mention that about 50 of her closest female friends and family would be there to shower her with presents and good wishes. The bridesmaids pulled it off without a hitch, and everyone had a wonderful time.

A very surprised and shaky Alyssa arrives at her shower at Jimbo's in Braintree.

Alyssa's mom, Dawnelle, and friend, are very happy for the bride-to-be.
