Family Christmas Favorites

We had our major Christmas celebration on Christmas Eve this year because that was the best time to get the entire family together.  All my children were present along with my mother-in-law and my son’s girlfriend and her little boy (pictured above.)  My husband prepared a fantastic meal of prime rib, roasted potatoes, peas with pearl onions, roasted brussel sprouts with parsnips and English pop overs.  It was to die for.  I don’t why I didn’t take a picture of the food…dumb, dumb, dumb…

Truly children make the holidays magical.  I caught the photo above when my son’s girlfriend and her son were checking out the Christmas tree.  The tree lights provided the only light for this photo.  He’s a cute little guy and I took quite a few pictures of him.

Here’s one of him again with my oldest son.  My son loves this kid for a number of reasons…number one being that they are two of a kind…full of energy and a little crazy.

Here’s a couple more of my favorite shots from Christmas…

My oldest son is kind of a goof and he was making these faces as his girlfriend was talking to my husband.  She wasn’t even aware he was doing it.  She got a good laugh when she saw this series.  Good thing for my son that she is a good sport.

I hope your Christmas was a merry one and that at least one of your dreams come true in the new year.
