And so it was...
Christmas 2011.
No small children here anymore, so we all watch Peanut rip into the tissue paper.
Many things change through the years, but ...
alot remains the same ~ family, food, fun.
Hope your Christmas brought joy to you and yours.
It's pouring rain here today and I have nowhere I have to be except ...
the chair with a good book,
the couch to watch an old movie (& try to stay awake ;),
or the computer to catch up on blog reading.
As you can see, I have a tough decision to make.
That's a very sweet day you describe, Kim! That's what I'm going to do, too. I might have to start grading school work. Might.
ReplyDeleteWhat movie are you going to watch?
Love the family pictures! Go Tigers and Red Wings! We're still big fans!
ReplyDeleteIt's raining here, too, but I have the grandkids and I have to fulfill a promise and go to Chuckee Cheese!lol
Enjoy your book or movie!
We are finally getting snow. I am catching up on blogs and helping hubby with a project. Love your choices for the day!
ReplyDeleteIt's raining here also and I'm in a chair with my computer! Nice pictures! Enjoy your relaxing day!

ReplyDeleteI figure I deserve a lazy day too after all that pre-Christmas work.
I think a movie will work for me.
You sure have some cute kids! And it looks like everyone enjoyed their day.
Happy New Year!
A lovely family Christmas photo.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a rainy dreary day here by me too. But we need days like this for reading!! : )
Lovely photos. I took a nap this afternoon...with absolutely no guilt!
ReplyDeletePom Pom,
ReplyDeleteIt will either be The Bishop's Wife or Holiday Inn. I recorded them both before Christmas, but haven't had a chance to watch til now. Might even have a double feature :).
I love your beautiful family photos! Looks like you've had a wonderful holiday! Enjoy your week! ♥♥♥
ReplyDeletea lovely family! Looks like quite a Blessing indeed. We too are experiencing a quieter nest (ours are 21 and 23 daughters). The Baby is home for a few weeks and I am enjoying the noise...(Rhianna instead of Chris Botti is playing).
ReplyDeletewe have a wet snow here.
OH do enjoy the relaxing after a busy time. It is a very quiet day here as well and I'm not complaining one bit.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely family you have. I hope the New Year brings you much joy.

Looks like a wonderful day with the kids...I haven't had a relax day yet...but I am hoping for one!!
ReplyDeleteThat no more small children here thing usually doesn't last too many years. =) In the meantime, the dog will do. Lovely mosaic. Thank you so much for being the lovely lady of the house and not being invisible.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lovely family, Kim! Great photos of everyone. I hope you and your family have a wonderful and Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good family Christmas! Are your sons twins? Such handsome young men. Happy New Year! :D
ReplyDeleteJulie,
ReplyDeleteMy sons were born on the same day ... two years apart so, no they are not twins. But, they do get asked that often.
Sounds like a lovely day and looks like you had a wonderful holiday. best wishes for the new year, Tammy
