Sharing Christmas Moments


I hope you had a wonderful and blessed Christmas!  We certainly did!

I wanted to say "Happy New Year!" to everyone, and also share some of the moments from our Family Christmas/New Year's celebration.  We usually celebrate our Family Christmas on New Year's Eve so we can be together with our kids and grand kids, and have a few days with us all together.  The house is all quiet now and today I spent a little time reflecting while enjoying going through the photos, and I hope you enjoy them too.  


Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

From all of us!

My beautiful babies!


On the porch warmed by the fire!


A little holiday toast by the fire!


My beautiful grand-babies!
LOVE-ly PJs from Grandma!  One needs to do a little growing into those jammies!


Christmas present fun, and being silly too!


  A couple surprises were hidden in cereal boxes, and that really threw them off!  "Cereal for presents?"
What a special and terrific Aunt, giving them Walkie-talkies!


She says "I always wanted a really big bear!"  but said as "willy big bayah!"


She says, "Thanks for the beautiful earrings, Grandma and Grandpa!"
She's gonna sparkle!


Hugs and smiles with Grandpa!


A special gift decorated for me, from a special Granddaughter!


The box contained a special message to Grandma, from both of them, hand written on pretty paper, 

...and a beautiful drawing of a Christmas tree!

Cheese is a special treat and really gets the attention of these four fellas!  They seem to enjoy the time together too!


  He prepared this delicious smoked ham!  I jokingly said, "I think there are three hams in this photo!"


mmm cheese!

Antipasti platter of prosciutto, salami, mozzarella cheese, olives and pepperoncini peppers.

Tasty treats!  Let's party!


Cheers and Happy New Year!
