Our family enjoyed another wonderful CHRISTmas.
I love to see it come, and always a little sad to see it go.
We went to Christmas Eve Mass, then joined the family at my mom's this year.
Christmas day was spent peacefully at home and my parents joined us for dinner.
My MIL is in FL., so we opened the presents we sent each other while she was on speaker phone.
A little different, but it felt almost like she was here with us.
Took a few pictures to share with her.
Our family was so very blessed this CHRISTmas.
Sadey is in love with her new play toy "santa" brought her.
I love the warm glow of all the white lights sprinkled on the tree and
throughout lots of garland spread across our home. My family does too.
I won't be in a rush to take them down. They will all stay up for at least another week.
Years ago, I used to be in a hurry to de~Christmas our home. I no longer feel that way.
I will be slowly taking down a few things here and there and replacing it
with more of a winter theme for the month of January.
I might even find a way to keep up at least one strand of white lights
to keep the warm glow. It is so nice in the evening to have just the lights
on while reading, watching TV and enjoying time together as a family.
Hub's & the kids are off work/ school until Jan. 3.. woohooo.
Lots of family time. Shhh.. don't tell my hubby but I keep hoping
for a little snow this week.
I hope you enjoyed a wonderful weekend.
How did you spend Christmas??

Sounds like you had a wonderful Christmas with your family! We had our first Christmas Eve and Morning here with just our 3 girls. After we opened gifts we headed down to the nursing home. Spent some time there and then went to the IL house and made dinner for my FIL and spent some time trying to make it seem like Christmas for him. Then drove home. Only to find that I had left a candle burning, and it was not one that is in a glass jar! We are very fortunate for that alone!
Quiet here, lots of games and family time! I'm hoping for snow too!
No snow here, but I had two out of the three boys home. Christmas was PERFECT, all my in laws live in town not to mention my husbands 96 year old Grandmother and his aunt as well.
Glad you had a great time and I love your slippers!
Love your bright slippers! Snow and below zero here... brrr! I leave snowmen and a few white lights up for January, too :)
Merry Christmas Amy!
