Season's Greetings . . . our 2005 Christmas letter.
-
It's that time of year when we stop the daily hustle and bustle and take a moment to reflect on the past year and let our close friends know what we've been up to.
2005 was a little hectic to say the least. In April we started to remodel our kitchen and we ended up remodeling most of the house. The contractors are wrapping up the last of the master bath as I type this and with any luck they should all be out of here before Christmas. To check out our construction progress, click here
The boys finished middle school and spent the summer playing Lacrosse and going on group adventures with church groups and friends. Morgan went white water rafting twice. Cayman joined him on trips to Disneyland and Magic Mountain. This gave them a break from the hammering, dust and noise of the construction.
Tom is still with Websense managing the Asia region and has spent lots of time traveling to India, China and Australia this year. It gave him an opportunity to get away from the construction and he looked forward to returning home to see what was competed while he was away.
This left Deb to juggle working full time at CollegeSports TV (now a division of CBS), keep the contractors on schedule, and keep the house somewhat livable with all of the dust and noise. |

 Pixie helped keep the contractors in line too. She was our barometer for which sub-contractors were "okay", since she'd either bark like crazy at them or just hang out with them and watch. She's a great judge of character and she rules the house like a little princess.
 The boys started high school this year and to our surprise, both enrolled in Air force ROTC. It's their favorite class and they look smart in their uniforms. They keep busy with after-school jobs, friends and studies. At Christmas they will be turning 15. Both have cars and driving on their minds.
Soon the construction will be done and we'll get to take another family adventure. We missed our annual trip this year. The boys are looking forward to a "snow trip". Maybe we'll get out to Utah for a little skiing and snowboarding soon.
To keep up to date with our family news and to see photos of our adventures, bookmark our family web site at http://home.san.rr.com/gibb/ or go to the boy's web sites at www.caymangibb.com or www.morgangibb.com.
Best wishes for a joyful holiday season and a prosperous new year!
The Gibb Family . . . Tom, Debbie, Cayman, and Morgan
