Merry Christmas! Part 3

Merry Christmas, today is the day!  This holiday season has seemed a little strange.  I think it has something to do with the world events.  Many people I have talked to have said the same thing.

We started the day off, of course, by going to Starbucks.  It was nice to sit around and watch the droves of people coming and going .

Now it was time to go over to Rosine's and have lunch with her...it is never easy!  As soon as we were done eating, Vicki's brother Bobby, her niece Tessa and Nancy her SIL, ARRIVED!

                                I am just sitting here waiting for my gifts!

                                        Merry Christmas,  mom!

                                         OMG! !! you got me a banjo!?!

                     I did not know they came with 4 or 5 strings....does it make a difference?L

                                                        Play it........mama!

                                GO Bobby!.......What do you mean you can't play it?
                                                         

     I think Christmas is a very stressful time!



Now this is a family jamming!                  
            

Play it Rosie!

                             Merry Christmas from Toby....Aaron's dog!

                     Alaina, Joshua's girlfriend and Miranda, Aaron's girlfriend!

                              I think Aaron and Joshua are tired from cooking Christmas dinner!

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!


BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!

Merry Christmas! Part 2

Tuesday December 23rd.....
Today the family is coming to our house for dinner, seeing the Christmas Lights and celebrating Tyler's 21st birthday!

We all met here, at our house, and then caravanned over to the golf course for dinner!

                        It was very nice as we were in our own room with doors that closed.  The table was huge, seating 15, even though there were only 11 of us!

                          Mark ordered shrimp and said they were very good!
                             

  The Christmas Tree was just outside our door and I could see it from where I was sitting!

                        Tyler ordered steak and said it was the best steak he had ever eaten.  It was nice to have all 4 of my grandkids here!  Joshua's girlfriend Alaina was not able to be with us but Aaron's girlfriend, Miranda was there!

Last Friday night our friends took us to see the Christmas Lights.  Rita took these pictures.  After we ate dinner we jumped into 3 cars and again made a caravan to see the lights!

After the lights, we went  back to the house for Birthday Cake, chocolate and mint.  Molly is working hard to fix the cake while Melinda is enjoying the frosting.

                                       Happy Birthday Tyler!                                

                            Happy Birthday Tyler....Miranda and Aaron chimed in!

BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!
