Merry Christmas and see you next year!

Well, Christmas is officially stowed in the attic for another year. I'm sort of sad to see it all put away as it was fun decorating our new house for Christmas. Everything just fits perfectly here, I see many wonderful holidays in our future.

I'll share a little bit of our Christmas with you. Nathan is reading "The Night Before Christmas" to everyone on Christmas Eve at Gramma and Opa's house. Hopefully a tradition in the making. He practiced reading to his brothers in the evenings at home and did a marvelous job. He looks so grown up... (sigh!)



Christmas Eve dinner. Always fabulous food, luscious libations and compelling conversation.


Christmas morning at our house. We had all of the family over for brunch later that afternoon. It was a good Christmas and a wonderful first Christmas in our new home.



Next year is full of decorating projects and fine tuning the new home. It will be fun. I'm anticipating a year full of blogging.

Wishing everyone an extraordinary year in 2009!

All four of them smiled!

I am elated, to say the least, that all of my children smiled for our Christmas card picture! One of them is usually grumpy and refuses to participate. My Mom and Mother-in-law both suggested the same solution to my newly coiffed son and as you can see I took their advice. Thanks Moms! Tomorrow is the signature assembly line for the cards and I'll have them in the mail by Wednesday. Not too bad considering last year they were New Years Eve cards!!

Have an extraordinary evening!
