Santa’s early visit

 

Christmas came early to our house this year, bringing our whole family together for a few wonderful days.

We got to hang out with cute Paul and his parents, as well as with all of our other children and their kids.

WE HAD THE ENTIRE FAMILY HERE!

We played.  We ate.  We talked.  We laughed.

It was noisy.

(We didn’t take very many pictures.)

We loved kissing these cute, chubby cheeks.

The cold, snowy weather only made everything more interesting.

Some fancy creating took place, too.

And some cousin bonding time….

Everyone loved playing with Uncle Robbie.

(Our grand-kids have pretty fun aunts and uncles.)

It was hard saying good-bye this morning.

We miss you already!

(I’m hoping that somebody got some good photos!)

P.S.  Undercooked turkey and over-baked brownies can’t ruin a fun evening!

P.S.  We are excited for round two of Christmas!

That must have been SO much fun! We are looking for the same sort of time on December 27th when our whole family will be under one roof for a week. Precious pandemonium!

Looks like you cherished the moments, pinching all those little dimple filled cheeks.

It's so wonderful to get to spend time together as a family!

Isn't it fun to spend time with new grandbabies? One of my favorite things and we'll have 2 new ones next Christmas. Hope your Christmas was merry! Mimi
