It's Sunday afternoon now, and things seem to be getting back to "normal" -whatever that means. I'm very happy to say that all of my Christmas decorations are packed up and put away, stored snugly in the rafters until next year. I pulled the "Bah Humbug" card a little early, and talked everyone into helping me get it all put away the day after Christmas. I've gotta say, it does feel nice to have the house back in order.We did have a lovely Christmas though, from dinner and present opening with my parents on Christmas Eve, to Christmas morning chaos with the kids and the dogs here at home. I am pleased to say that everyone seemed to be happy with their Christmas presents, and there is only one item to be returned, due to a wrong size. I can't beat that!
Our Christmas dinner turned out lovely. The 23 lb. turkey I cooked came out delicious, and all 16 of the side items came together perfectly. Everyone seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves and the meal, and I couldn't have been happier. This year we decided to invite a few friends to dinner that we hadn't in the past, and I was so happy that we did. The house was warm, noisy and full of fun. Having our friends over made the day extra special, and I hope to make that a new tradition. It truly warmed my heart and reminded me of what the Christmas spirit is all about.
Here are just a few pictures from our little festivities.

Wow that was a great Christmas dinner! I cant believe how good the turkey was! I am still waiting for my adoption papers that you say are in the mail. I would like to become an official part of the family even though I already feel like it. Thank you Sue for having me and my babes over for Christmas, it meant a lot to me! It really did. Hugs, Valerie Joey and Kealani You are the best Auntie in the world!
