A Glimpse Into Our Christmas

Happy Friday Friends! I have to admit that I didn't even think about posting yesterday; I did visit some blogs, but didn't even give a thought to writing. Our family gathered to celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve morning with a big breakfast followed by presents. This post will be heavy with photos; I decided just to pick those that captured the essence of our family. The first photo is of our oldest grandson holding the youngest grandson, his cousin. The older boys are so good with him and always playing with him. It warms this Nana's heart. I will say our youngest guy looked a bit tired on Tuesday morning.

 

Papa and I gave him a Nerf ball shooter and he seemed to love it.

 

The doll clothes were a hit!

 

 

 

 

 

The boys made out as well.

 

I love this photo and the love shining in big sister's eyes. Such beauties!

 

Now for the adults; Carrie and Brent opening their stockings.

 

Kim and Eric looking at theirs.

 

With the purchase of our new home, even though we won't be moving into it until May or June, there are little things we need to get first-like new pots and pans etc. Hubby and I were of the same mindset for presents this year-gift cards.

 

 

Our kids spoiled us this year-but they always do! This sign will hang here in our current home and then be front and center in our new home; possibly in our new living room.

 

 We love it as well as the thoughtfulness and creativity shown on all their gifts. Christmas night we went over to Carrie's home for a dinner-it was excellent! Of course I came away feeling stuffed and needing a long bike ride to work off the calories. Yesterday hubby and I ran some errands and had a relaxing day, including game night at Kim's in which I lost big time. Today, I will begin making lists of the order to begin packing-Christmas decorations will be first.
 I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and have a great day and weekend. It is so hard to believe we are at the end of the year!
Blessings from our home to yours!
