The lights, the smells, the time with family and friends. Christmas is truly one of my favorites. I love the process of getting ready, the 'hustle and bustle.' Mom and I got to spend a day together shopping! It was such a treat to have the time with her. I am so thankful they were home for the holidays this year. Although it gets crazy busy and at times stressful, we are reminded about the spirit and joy of the season (check out our little reindeer). Cousins Dinner 2016Our annual cousins dinner was hosted by Joanne and Kevin McMinn . . . oh what a night! #seanpenn #kevinsright #fancybeast #nutcrackers #walkabout Christmas Eve 2016We hosted Christmas Eve dinner for our families this year, and we were fortunate enough to have Steve home to enjoy the time with family - and a friend, Mr. Reese. Christmas Day 2016We enjoyed the company of Mom and David on Christmas morning. Late afternoon we made our way to the Murphy/Powell home where the celebrations continued. Most of the family gathered to help MomMom celebrate her favorite holiday. Her health is deteriorating at a rapid rate, and we are grateful for the time we had with her this season. Last but not least, a special family announcement!
