Hi friends! I had a lovely Christmas break, hope your Christmas season was good too.
I thought I'd share some pics of what we did on Christmas.
We had dinner with my extended family. We used our church as we've done the last few years and it works well for a bigger group.
It was different and the absence of my Dad and stepmom was felt. However, we remembered what a nice day we had with them last year and were happy in knowing they were both having their best Christmas!
Here's the group that was able to be there. We were missing a few due to travels and schedule issues, but those that could make it enjoyed it.
We played some fun games after we ate.
By mid-afternoon we cleaned things up and went home.
About 4:30 the next round started. Laura, Aaron, Andrew, Heather and the girls came over.
Cassie was very into opening gifts this year!
It was such a nice day!

Very nice table. Looks like a fun Christmas with your family. Happy New Year!
What a lovely Christmas Day you enjoyed, Mari. What a blessing that so many of your extended family could make it. Your daughter and granddaughters did a lovely job with decorating the tables.
I teared up when I read about your dad and stepmom because I remember what that first Christmas was like after my mom went to be with the Lord. It's bittersweet. I really missed her this year at Christmas.
Dear little Cassie...what a sweet face!
That picture of the three girls looking at a book is SPECTACULAR!!! What camera do you use?
This really looks like a fun day!
Beautiful Time for you MARI and family. We had a quite Christmas- Chris made a lovely Baked Dinner for Christmas Lunch. Best Wishes. KEV.
That looks like such fun! The tables are lovely.
Happy New Year! xx
Hi Mari! Good to see you back after your Christmas break! This looks like you had a really wonderful family Christmas. I hope that the new year holds many good things for you and yours. God bless! See you again soon!
I love the pictures, Mari, and sweet Cassie was just having too much fun at Grandma's!! Wishing you and yours a very happy new year, filled with many blessings!
Everything looks so beautiful, although I'm sure it was very bittersweet without your dad and Anne. It looks like everyone had a fun time, especially the girls! I know they make the holidays so much fun!
We have used our church before for family events, and it is so helpful. Looks like everyone had a good time :)
The table looks lovely, and the pictures of the girls are beautiful. My favorite is the first one of the three of them with Cassie in the middle.
Wishing you and Bob a happy, blessed, and healthy New Year!
What a busy day! The table decorations look so beautiful. I know you must have been thinking about your dad, but what peace you must have knowing he is in heaven.
It looks and sounds like a lovely Christmastime.
Happy New Year Wishes.
All the best Jan
Awwww Cassie in tears is more than I can take. I saved that beautiful glowy picture of the girls reading a book, to my folder of their pictures I've collected. How beautiful Laura and the girls decorated for the party! Those little cardboard houses are just unbelievably cute. Happy New Year, my friend! xoxo
What a lovely day. I love how those little houses turned out and they were perfect table decorations. Such a sweet photo of your girls.
It looks like such a lovely Christmas! And the table decorations were perfect.
