Each year... I get one of those cheesy personalized ornaments for both our tree and my parent's tree.
Here is our ornament this year... I think the date is clear?
As I took them off the tree... I grabbed a shot of them ALL.
Although it was missing 2 that had fallen off the tree (found them later)
Next year... These will get their OWN table-top tree.
Christmas, for us, started last Friday.... When we had dinner at our house with my brother, Richard and his wife, Patricia.
The food was our traditional steak/fries and lobster
Maybe you can catch a glimpse of our tree back there. It was the first year we had it in the den... Not the front room.
(yes... Paige was fresh out of a bath... Great cropping)
Our parents with Rich and Patricia. (shhh... She's got a bun in the oven)
Cutting dessert....
Gift giving time -- why he posed like that... Don't know but I love it.
She must really, really love him. He's my brother... I know.
Patricia's original gift (wrapped by the sales staff at NM) was SWITCHED at the store. It was supposed to be a robe... She got a purse)
My parents went back to NM the next day and straightened it out.
My mother was NOT HAPPY, but Rich made the best of it by 'opening' the x-box remote he grabbed on the table - and acted as happy to get it as Patricia was for the purse.
I was lucky enough to have off both Christmas eve and day, so we had good times with good people and great food!
Dinner at my Mom's house. Christmas eve..
Gotta love the place-cards (as if we couldn't just say... You sit here... And you sit there. )
My parent's home also has a photo wall... Such good grandma and grandpa!
Paige was ready to eat.
Time to open gifts... Hard to believe next year will have one more. (my brother's)
Ready... Set...
Go...
Still going...
Found these children's aprons at a local craft fair.
The biggest hit of the night were FURBY's - one for each kid
Paige woke up this... Christmas morning
Older girls got these....
Don't look over her shoulder... Aw, you looked!
Wade's big gift... Don't judge, ok, It was bought BEFORE the school shooting stuff.
Done!
Christmas dinner was at Bryan's brother's house... not too many pictures were taken. Sad... I'm usually better at the camera than this.
Bryan's mom... Christmas day... Piling candles on his cake.
Poor Bev... It's been her job for 43 years now.
But on his ACTUAL birthday (26th)... He belongs to us!!
Happy birthday, baby!
Wonder how (and where) we will be celebrating your NEXT one!!
