Merry Christmas Bloggers!




Hello Bloggers! I was just reading my comments and I feel so bad for neglecting my blog! Now that all the chaos has passed, i will have more time to post and to read your posts. I won't lie...I haven't even looked at blogs for a month now. (oh yeah...and I'm brunette now;))


As I'm sure you all were, we've been busy preparing for the big day. Making the gingerbread house...



decorating the Christmas tree...



And preparing for company! My brother and his wife came on the 22nd with my gorgeous little niece, Sophia. Isn't she the cutest thing you ever did see? She has been the object of my affections since she came into the world 3 months ago. Adorable!!!






So Christmas morning my family came over and ate my sister Sheryl's yummy breakfast that she makes every year. Then we did prezzies followed by an afternoon of appetizers and goodies. Then in the afternoon, Kelly's family came over and we had dinner for 18 people. Kelly made some extra large table tops to affix atop our table in conjunction with my sis Sheryl's dining room table. The result was a 16 foot long 4 foot wide table!
Above is my brother Dennis, Kelly's parents and his uncle.


LOL Here's Kelly after opening a sweater I got him. So cute.

Here's Alicia with a couple of her prezzies and Sheryl in the background enjoying a champagne and OJ. mmmmmmmm.


Above is Kelly's Aunt and Uncle recovering from a hefty meal and below is my mom and dad sharing a squeeze.



Here's Sheryl and Kelly's Grandma Leona.

Then My brother Mike, his wife Glenda, and of course our little angel Sophia!


















Last but not least, Kelly's cuz Ryan, Alicia, Kelly's nephew Christian, and his other cuz Adrea goofing off for the camera. Work it!





Unfortunately it was Anastasia's year to be with her mom, but she's coming tonight to spend the weekend and New years with us. she'll open countless gifts and then on new years eve we'll have a little birthday party for her. She turns 10 on Jan 2nd. More family over...more food to be eaten...more chaos...more fun!

I hope your Christmas was as joyful as mine, and to all of you a huge New years hug! Take care all!

This looks like so much fun, I want to do it all over again. Great to see a new blurb. I was beginning to think you'd adopted the Moulin Rouge look for good. Your brunette look is stunning. I laughed when I read your last comment. We do live in the hot tub, winter and summer. Anyway, have a great, happy, happy New Year.

That was a Great Christmas party Sharon. And how nice to see your family on the photos. Your parents, your lookalike sister Sheryl, your brothers Dennis, Mike and his beautiful wife, the fast growing Sophia and all the others.
I hope you'll have a flashing start in the New Year and that 2008 will be the beginning of the best time of your life with Kelly and the wonderful girls.
All your friends are glad you're back to write nice stories and show us your pictures.
