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!

We are so thankful for the ever growing family! When I think about the time Dad died, there was Jen. When Mom died, there were babies! We are so blest to keep this family ever growing and loving each other!!
Congratulations, Sammy boy! Well done on both the graduation and the Second Lieutenant accomplishment. Excellent work. Looking forward to new Wingerters in the new year! Much love from San Diego.
Congrats to all!! Such wonderful achievements and what a great way to celebrate the holiday! Best to the entire clan in 2018!
Congrats Sam! I didn't realize you were getting pinned or else I would have walked over for the ceremony! You Wingys sure know how to stay busy!
Happy New Year!
