Laken loving her baby sister.
Noah, cute as he can be!
Rebecca and Molly; cousins who may not live close to one another but are so very close anyway. Molly is my cousin Bridget's daughter and she and I love that the girls are close, just as she and I are!
Dave and Trish enjoying their first Christmas together as husband and wife.
Mom 'encouraging' Dave to pose in a picture with her! :o)
Dad, enjoying sitting back and passing down the tradition of handing out gifts to his son. Dave did a great job which isn't easy with 12 excited people gathered around the tree.
Makenna enjoying a snuggle and nap with her other Grandpa.
Me opening a gift that will hold precious documents. It's a fireproof case that I will store such documents as Hannah's original adoption papers, Passports, etc. Something I've wanted for a while but just never purchased for myself.
Dave posing with the two pizza stones he received. Guess with a family of 7 he could use 2!
I hope all of you shared a wonderful Christmas! I couldn't help but think often over the day of how wonderfully different Christmas is going to be next year when Hannah is HOME!!!
Looks like you had a wonderful Christmas....baby Makenna is adorable...and getting so big!!

ReplyDeleteHappy New Year,

Looks like Christmas was a great time! It's fun to pass along traditions. We pick a different "Santa" to hand out presents every year... but Santa has to wear the Santa hat... and be taught to hand our presents slow enough that everyone can see what everyone else has... Letting the adults do this would kinda eliminate the chaos we usually have!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas,
Jules
Happy New year, Catherine!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you had a nice Christmas with family. And can you believe we received a fire-proof safe, too?!?!! We already have one, but word got out that it was full. We need another one!
