Is It Too Late For Christmas Pictures...

ohhhh good, I did not think so!!

Lets start with the family photo...
this family room fireplace is usually gorgeous for Christmas,
I never found time to decorate this year!!


We had a "Fun-Old-Fashioned Griswold Christmas"


Mike (my pharmacist), Me, Chuck, (maybe you recognise us)  
and Scott (a computer software engineer,
I don't really know what that means)
but it's helpful to have both these professions in your family!!


There were gifts under the ornament tree,
but more importantly there was an abundance of love in the house!!


This is me, rockin Wii...
We I LOVE Wii and my boys humor me.
I think I beat both my sons here AND set a record!!

My oldest son Scott had a very special gift for me...
click on his giutar if you would like to hear it!!




Gorgeous right?!
He plays as though the guitar is an extension of his arm,
effortless and beautiful!!



I got the very necessary IPhone 1 week before Christmas.
My previous phone had been held together with "glue dots" for about a year!!


My younger son Mike got me a cover for it,
purple, flowers and a butterfly, is there anything this cover is missing??
I am surprised it doesn't say "Made For Debbie"!!

The boys stayed the entire weekend. We all woke up together on
Christmas morning and that was the best gift ever!!

We won't talk about Chuck playing Wii Bowling,
and the "accident" that interrupted a very exciting game!!
Glass everywhere, juice everywhere,
looking at my camera floating in the liquid and the one shard of glass
that remains "in" the t.v. forever!!

Nope...not going to talk about that!!

Scott is a phenomenal guitarist! Wow, thanks so much for sharing that!

It sounds like you had a great Christmas. Everyone being there is really what makes it! My niece has been here all week and she goes home today. I miss her already!

Please at least tell us that the camera survived its swim???? Otherwise this is all very, very special! well, even that is special in the french version of the word ...which means kind of twistedly and stupidly 'special'!! Happy New Year dear one!

Your family is beautiful, and your husband loves you, you can see that in his eyes and face. I hope that 2012 will be a great year for you with healing in it's wings!

No kidding??? Wow it must have been some bowling match, that is so funny.
You have a lovely family. Thanks for sharing. I love the matching shirts.
I am so glad you posted Christmas pictures. I am so glad I have had the gift of getting to know you this year. You have blessed my life.
I really like your phone cover too and it does look like it was made just for you.
I hope your 2012 will be... easier.
Blessings from me to you.

What a very handsome family you all are. How wonderful you got to spend Christmas all together.
Oh that accident sounds like something that might happen in this household. Oooops!!! :))
Have a happy hogmanay - cheers to you all!!!

It's NEVER too late for Christmas pictures!!!

I closed my eyes and listened to your son's song ... it was so beautiful!

I've played Wii a few times (tennis and bowling only) and found I'm okay at tennis, horrible at bowling.

We had a Christmas mishap like that once, which involved a light fixture and a baton. Nope, won't go there either.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family for the New Year, Debbie.

Sounds like a great Christmas! My husband who is addicted to "Christmas Vacation" would love your T-shirts! Your son is truly gifted. I enjoyed the video very much.
Happy New Year to you and your family!

Precious pics! Wonderful family! Lovely home!

Ahhhhhh, we both have a pharmacist son! :-) I also have a pharmacist husband. ,-) Which was handy for son, because he got to take over the old fashioned corner Drug Store, which his father had run for years and years and years. :-)

Happy New Year!

Gentle hugs,
"Auntie"

Very nice post. I enjoyed Scott's playing. Yes, that phone cover should NOT be owned by anyone else~!Happy New Year to you all.

Tammy said...

You all look so happy together. What a great picture. Love the t-shirts. My husband and I have the wii, but have only played it a couple of times. It exhaust me to play. I feel like I have run 5 miles after playing. Great exercise though.
By the way was your phone cover made specifically for you? Super cute.
