So This Was Christmas....

and it was a very Merry Christmas!

We don't have a large, one and done, Christmas Tree.

We have several of these "tabletop" trees, scattered about the house. 

Since the boys moved out, these work well for us...

I do miss seeing all the special ornaments we have collected over the years,

they are in boxes, perhaps never to be seen again.

oooh dear, I hope not!

- "0" days until Christmas -

- Christmas Gifts -

- Mikes Gifts -

Mike loved the blanket I made for him,

I was so thrilled to see him open it and to share that moment with him,

when he saw it for the first time.

He said he loved the color!

We all watched the Disney Christmas Parade, and had homemade coffee cake for breakfast.

- So fun -

We were in charge of deserts for Christmas that my niece Dean-na hosts.

These mini donuts were so good...

we brought 2 cheesecakes and a chocolate layer cake...i did not get a picture.

We brought lots of Christmas Cookies...

these are a few of the cookies I made.

Niece Dean-na, her brother Billy and Dean-nas husband, Anothony.

Sister and Brother

Lorelei

Addie

Those are the Disney Ornaments I gifted them..

I have purchased each of them an ornament every Christmas since they were born.

This is about half of us...I don't know how other families get a picture of everyone.

The kids kept disappearing, the adults did not want a picture,

it was complete chaos and I loved every minute!

I am there in the back, just my head!
