Hi-ya Crew....
Just thought I'd share a few photos from some of our Christmas activities with you. This first photo is of the Christmas decorations on our dining room table. Aren't those vintage looking blue mercury glass ornaments cool?? Got those at Crate & Barrel this year. Love 'em. Next year, they'll go on one of our small Christmas trees somewhere. :) Oh, and that tall jar is also vintage-look mercury glass from Nell Hill's.
This little princess is Baby Ally. Can you believe she'll be a year old next month?? My, how time flies. They got to come for a visit over the weekend. Such a sweetie. And she LOVES Riley! Hee!
We didn't have the whole clan over on Christmas day but for those that were able to be here, this was our table set up and ready for lunch.
Some of you asked to see our wrapped gifts under the tree. I didn't get a shot of the gifts until everyone had brought theirs over and piled them under the tree, but I'm sure you can guess that the ones I wrapped have berries or other floral picks on them. (And yummo Papertrey ribbon!) :)
This picture cracks me up. Look at Riley!!! He turned to look at the camera just as it beeped! We hadn't ever tried to get a group shot before, using the tripod and the remote, but we did on Christmas Day and I love how this turned out! (Front Row: Riley, Dad & Mom; Back Row: Bart, Me, (sister) Grace, (sister) Glory, (brother-in-law) Chris, (brother) David)
This is Ally with her mom and dad. (My sister) As you might have guessed from the photo, baby #2 should be making an appearance sometime in the next few weeks! Can't wait to meet my new niece or nephew!
And these are our dear neighbors that may as well be related. We love them like family. :) So glad they got to spend part of their Christmas Day with us.
We have a fun gathering to attend tomorrow night (New Year's Eve) and my extended family (22 of us, I think) are all coming over on New Year's Day for our 'Christmas Lunch'. Lots and lots of fun family time. I'm so grateful to have so much of our family close by. What a blessing.
Hope you're doing well this evening!
Take care!
