Happy Tuesday to you! It's hard to believe that so many days have passed since Thanksgiving. We were so blessed to have 19 at Carrie's home; what joy to share in the meal and more importantly the blessings of being with family. Due to the large number of us, Carrie sets up a small table for the younger grands complete with coloring pages, while our 4 oldest sit at the adult table.

Carrie always does such a wonderful job of setting everything up~however, I know her girls get in and help a lot.  In fact, all of our oldest grands are now cooking part of the meal.  Love it!

Love our family!

Will you just look at that food-it was so good.   As if that wasn't enough, we also had at least 4 desserts.  After we ate, we played some games and then later on had desserts.  It was a beautiful day outside so many of the kiddos enjoyed the sunshine.

We missed having my brother and sister of my heart with us and everyone thought of Carrie's mil, who was celebrating in heaven this year.
Now, our house it completely decorated and most of the presents have been purchased.  We are able to just enjoy the rest of the days leading to the Celebration of Christ's birth.  May you count your blessings along the way.
Joyfully,
Noreen
