Christmas and Family Times

I sure hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and holiday! I could see some wonderful times on blogs and it DID, in fact, look so happy, peaceful and FULL!

We all had a lovely Christmas, holiday, birthday, family time, game playing, eating and being merry! It just went on and on.......we saw all 5 adult children with spouses, grandchildren, boyfriends and dogs. We actually had "4" Christmases because everyone could not come at once. BUT each one was so very special and we feel so blessed to have our wonderful family.
