Busy December for the Wingys

2017 has been a crazy year for the Wingy clan; and December was no different.  Sam graduated from MSU on Dec. 16 after being pinned as a nurse on the 15th.  So all of us except Nick and including  Connie, gathered in Billings and Bozeman to celebrate this accomplishment.  Miranda did the pinning honors at the nurses' ceremony.  It was pretty cool since Sam was the last person introduced and his ROTC accomplishments were mentioned as well.  So awesome for Sam!

Saturday morning was graduation in the field house.  Around 800 graduated and about 150 were nursing students.  I didn't get any pics of Sam in cap and gown😢   Later that afternoon he was commissioned as a 2nd lieutenant in the army.  4 cadets received their commission so it was a pretty short ceremony.  We drove back to Billings after that on really crappy roads.  

We spent the remainder of the weekend in Billings.  Miranda hosted all of us at her place.  It was a bit crowded but so fun to all be together.

The next weekend was Christmas!  Nick flew in on Wed. to join Christina and Patricia at our house.  We had everyone but Jake and Dee for Christmas.  So fun to have all the grandkids!  

 Sam is studying for his nursing boards then heads to San Antonio for a few months.  After that he goes wherever the army sends him.  

All of us are doing well and anticipating baby Oregon Wingy in Feb. and baby Butte Wingy in May!  Nick will finish in Alabama in June and they will move back to Helena.

We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful 2018.  Love you all!

Sibling Christmas Lunch

We have continued the tradition started I don't even know how many years ago!  We gathered in Great Falls on December 9th for the annual Moore sibling Christmas lunch.  We met at The Amigo and had a great lunch.  All six of us were there with Marc, Annie and Jim W joining as the "out-laws".  From there we drove to the cemetery (with a stop at the liquor store to get Baileys for Jimmy).  We hung a wreath between Mom and Dad's graves.  I had brought a half gallon of egg nog and brandy to commemorate  Dad's neighborhood Christmas open house gatherings!  I had a bag with all the necessities and we stood around and told memories for over an hour and finished the egg nog and almost all of the Baileys.  From there we moved on to Connie's house where we visited before going to  . . . . . . wait for it . . . . . . BORRIES!  All but Mary were there since she was having a staff party at her house!  We had so much fun!  God has blest us as a family to have each other during this holiday season.  We miss Mom and Dad but we are so lucky that we have each other!  Merry Christmas to all!
