We are blessed!

I spent most of yesterday shopping with my friend at the after Christmas sales.
It sounds crazy, I know.
But it really was a blast, and it wasn't the mob scene I thought it might be!
We
had
FUN!
Anyway, here's a few pics from Christmas Day.

My holiday table~

My family~
My youngest, trying to get my grandson to smile...
my son-in-law, grampie and d, and tired boy!
He had a party with his other grandparents the night before...

Middle daughter and her boyfriend, holding sweet girl
My oldest, and her husband holding his favorite niece

My friend, Teresa
in the background listening to
Grampy and D's deep discussion!

My brother and sister-in-law, here from Arizona.

My sweet mom wasn't able to make it here this year,
but we were able to share dinner, and a visit later in the day, at her house.

I bought these fun tool Christmas lights at an after Christmas sale last year for my Dad.
They were to decorate his workshop. I never did get to give them to him.
I lit them all season in his memory.
We sure miss you, Dad...

and my favorite photo....precious Olivia.

Gifts in abundance...Thank you Jesus.

Hope your Christmas was filled with precious memories!

    Happy Holidays to you and your wonderful family and I love the lights that you lit in memory of your father. I place framed photos on my tree of family members that are no longer with us to share the holidays.
