Christmas Part 1

Many times pictures can say it better than I can (plus, I just love taking pictures with our new camera). This really was a wonderful Christmas, and while Mary-Michael won't remember it, we sure will. Babies sure can bring families together and dissipate any tension or ill will that might have existed. So, Mary-Michael, you may not realize it, but you are already blessing others. Merry Christmas love!


Cousin Owen's new race track quickly became a favorite of M&M's.


Who needs clothes? Being naked is so much more fun!


Blackmail picture for my brother who wants to enter the world of fashion for his career.


Opening a present from Aunt Mel and the family. Mary-Michael was given so many nice things for Christmas - wow, we are blessed.


Random shot of my Christmas card door. I LOVE getting cards every year!


After Christmas Eve lunch with the Burrell's, we went to our candlelight service, which was really simple and special this year. Mimi, Grandad, Mom and Ronnie joined us, and then we had dinner together.


M&M's first Christmas Eve - she was so glad to get in those Christmas PJs...it meant bedtime was right around the corner.


Christmas Eve with the Burrell's (aka my dad's side). Poor M&M was just on day 2 of her antibiotics for her ear infection. She was not a happy camper.


The newlyweds - John and Aunt Diane.


Zach and Taylor (in the background).

Nana and her "baby boy" - my dad!


Me and the wonderful cook - Beth always creates delicious treats for our family get-togethers.
