Christmas Day
On Christmas Day we open gifts at home first, just the five of us. I love these pics with everyone in their matching gowns and crumpled hair (including mine and Frank’s!) but just can’t bring myself to post them on the internet. Ha!
Frank’s parents always have lunch for us and the girls love to go there to open gifts. This year they had traveled to Spain and brought back beautiful things for us all.
After the Passes, we try to catch a nap (mine and Frank’s Christmas present from the girls!) and then we head to the farm where my mother and George have always prepared a wonderful dinner. This year we had standing rib roast and smoked gouda mashed potatos…soooooo gooda. My mother takes great pride in her beautiful table settings, too so I included a picture of one.
They never fail to overdo gifts for the children, as you may see fromt he stash Katy has piled next to her in one of the following photos. George’s middle son, Chris and his girls Tess, Wyn and Skye were also there…pretty strawberry blonds. My sister was given a pencil sketch of her mother, Sherry, and one of herself at the same age. My brother Jason’s babies are growing up. The Boy is 3 and WIDE open, Sarah has the beautiful curls and Baby Becca is wearing the tutu.
It was really a wonderful Christmas with wonderful people. When reflecting, I am always amazed at how enormously blessed with people to love I am.
