So This Is Christmas 2018





We started the festivities with our Annual Rudolph Breakfast on December 23rd.
And soon, it was Christmas Eve!



Dinner...




Pictures...

Beautiful Mass...

Reindeer food...



Dessert...

Stockings...


And cookies for Santa!
After a few winks of sleep...
It was Christmas Day!





Stockings and a lovely, leisurely breakfast first...




Presents and smiles and jumps of joy next...



Back upstairs later for more gifts and snuggles...


Naps and coffee and tree lights...

Followed by Ralphie on Tv and gifts for Grandma.

This Christmas was many things...
Our first Christmas in our new home, our last Christmas before we officially add a new son -in- law,  another Christmas enjoyed with the magic of Santa.
It was a time our family spent together, cozy as can be, making memories to carry with us year after year.

  15. I love it all Billie Jo! It all looked magical and full of love and family. I'm still a bit sad it's all over and wish as I do each year that it could all just last a little longer. Your place settings for each meal were so gorgeous, you all sure know how to make me hungry with all of that delicious food!!
