We enjoyed a nice, low-key Christmas celebration this year. My mom and my brother and his family joined us for dinner on Tuesday. We took some pictures by the Christmas tree while we were waiting for our guests to arrive.
Three generations: my daughter, my mom, and me!
My brother, Steve is always silly and my nephew, Nick, is following in his shoes.
After dinner, the girls all posed for a picture with their new scarves...
Nick didn't get a new scarf (lol!) but he wanted to be in the picture too!
After gift opening, we enjoyed dessert. My sister-in-law always makes an assortment of delicious cookies and my mom made poppyseed bread and nut bread along with some bars.
It was a fabulous day and I'm grateful for my family and most especially, my mom!
Hope you all had wonderful Christmas celebrations too.
I've decided to spend tonight starting to clean through my stash and get some projects ready for my annual New Year's Eve weekend stitching marathon! Anyone else going to do some serious stitching this weekend?
Yep. Moms are irreplaceable. Your Mother looks like a real Sweetheart, and her poppyseed roll looks like it should be in a contest somewhere, or maybe in a gourmet magazine.
ReplyDeleteTalent travels in families!
It looks like a wonderful family gathering! I do hope to stitch quite a bit this week-end. We have a very long trip home tomorrow including 3 planes and a ferry so stitching this week-end sounds great!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful family Christmas! I enjoyed seeing pics of you all having fun together. Looking forward to seeing what you're going to be stitching on for New Years weekend!
