As I mentioned last week, we had four jammed packed days of Christmas cheer. We celebrated with our families. We visited with old friends and met some new ones. We ate, a lot, although sadly there were no big chunks of meat this go round. Meat or not, it was a lovely series of Christmas gatherings and I have the pictures to prove it! However, rather than offer you a play-by-play of every last detail, I thought I'd share some of my highlights...

The scavenger hunt Jack created to top his Christmas pinata from last year, which it totally did.




Tamales and Corona bottles that no one could keep straight:



Christmas hugs and thank yous shared by brothers:



Inappropriate jokes shared between my husband and grandmother about this lovely black denim apron:



Botched family photos. Sorry Mom, they all pretty much look like this:



Creamy potato soup and opening up our home to new friends:



Christmas morning in my own home with my own family of four...this one's gonna have to be added to the tradition list.



Henry telling me that this Christmas was different from last year in a way he hadn't expected.

How's that Henry?

Well, we didn't get as many presents!

Nope, you didn't.




Hope your Christmas was just as merry as ours!
