Family Christmas/New Year


The house is quiet today...

We had a great Family Christmas/New Year celebration with the kids and grand-kids over the past few days. The house is very quiet today and I miss the extra warmth of having them all here, also the pitter-patter of little feet and hearing those sweet little voices and giggles, and lots of hugs and kisses. We enjoyed having them all here with us and sharing in lots of food and good cheer, our gifts exchange, fun, laughter and maybe a few tears too, some football and having a good time together.

Oh and I must say that I'm also pleased to add that my "Santa baby" said I had been a real good girl, and he brought me a new laptop for Christmas, and I am happily using it right now for writing this! :)  We did get a few photos and I'll add more as I get them.  Enjoy!

Family Christmas Celebration 
12/30/12

All smiles and ready for our Family Christmas celebration, and the little girls are ready to open those Christmas gifts! 











Cute little butterflies.  I called them angels.  Their Aunt gave the wings to the girls.


New Year's Eve

Ready for our dinner on New Year's Eve.  We do an Italian style meal for the holiday, a tradition started long ago since we would be turkey-ed out after Thanksgiving.  Roasted Pork Tenderloins, Pasta, Sauteed Asparagus, Stuffed Portabello Mushrooms, Salad, Baked Bread and of course a nice Red Wine. 


New Year's Day

Enjoying some football and hot wings on New Year's Day before everyone goes home.
(Camera phone photos, not the best but a memory of the day nontheless)








Hugs and Smiles...
Happy New year too!
