Christmas was celebrated at the yellow house this year, with most of the family present. Missing were Jack and family, and Michael, who went to his family for the day. They were missed. The camera battery went dead at the wrong time so we don't have many pictures to share....

Serenity got a cleaning caddy with mop, broom, dustpan, & vacuum. As you can see she put it to good use immediately.

Haley managed to hold the dog long enough to get his picture, but without his Santa hat. He lives at David's house.

Sunshine and Harley kept an eye on the proceedings. They didn't get to stay long, too many commitments. Michael has a large family so a lot of gatherings.

The same tree we have enjoyed for 5 or 6 years, and hope to continue for many more. The fiber optic lights are hypnotic to watch, and it really doesn't need extra decoration, but we use a few favorite things anyway.
We had our usual feast, that was way more than needed, but we also had some extra guests. Jack's (Wright) mother and sister came up from Lake Charles, LA for the week, so they were here with Jack and Jessica and Serenity, and one of Jessi's friends from school days, Katy McGee, stopped by so we filled a plate for her too. David also brought a friend along, her dog is pictured above. Of course uncle Farrell, and Patti and Randy were here.
I do love Christmas, but still I'm glad the hustle is done until next December.
I am hoping to do a little better about regular posts this year. but can't make it a promise, after all I am known as the worst (or best) procrastinator in the family.
