Our Big Christmas was Today...

 

Dad watching over the stove and all the goodies. 
My little niece, Lilly, butter basting the yeast biscuits.

The table all set and ready.  The candles need to be lit.


The Christmas tree covered in presents.


My two nieces getting into a Cheezit box before lunch.




My brother bottle feeding his daughter, Olivia. 




The food all ready to be plated up.  Looks so pretty and scrumptious. 



The meal at last as we sat down to laugh, eat, and enjoy each other's company.

Thank you so much for sharing! I have never seen so many redheads at one time. You have a lovely family and that tree was unbelievable. I'm glad you had a good time and are doing so well. That truly is a Christmas miracle.

What an absolutely GORGEOUS family! No wonder you've been so happy this week.

I'm pleased on so many levels. You participated in your family celebration!! Your family let you take pictures! This was heartwarming to me. The table is lovely. I recognize the china. It's all so festive. The house is beautiful. The iron work/doors are an interesting touch.

Did you have your Christmas dinner early because your family was in town? BTW, your tree is beautiful as is your holiday header.

I had Christmas dinner at my neighbor's tonight. I'm tired and ready for bed :)

Merry Christmas Andrew!
Your meds are helping as you made it through the family celebration. It does help to be the one behind the camera, but we all would have liked to see the expression on your face when you opened your Wii.
shhh...I got my family one as a surprise for Christmas too....
Should be fun as it came with 4 games.

Thank you for sharing your family festivities with us.

Beautiful table and I'm betting the neices had a ball opening their gifts.

Enjoy the holiday Andrew.

Andrew ~ I am so proud of you for attending the festivities at your parents house. I can remember a time not to very long ago that even though it is family, you would have thought that there were too many people there. Merry Christmas my friend.

Syd said...

It looks very festive. And like everyone is enjoying the great food. Glad that you are having a nice Christmas.

Fantastic family photos. Merry Christmas!

There's just so many things wrong with the picture of your family eating.

1. You have gobbled your food down. Everyone else's plate is full of food and yours is empty.

2. No one is smiling.

3. You and your mother don't use the napkins provided.

4. Why are they looking away?

5. The food looks positively vile.

Joanne said...

@anonymous , why must you spell it all out ?
It's festive seasons after all !

Such jealousy from such cowards! Andrew, this was a beautiful glimpse into your family and I loved it!
