| With Son #2's Family |
It's not your eyes. I didn't want to take one of those "everybody crammed together in front of someone holding the iPhone", so I set the shutter to get a "better" image. I guess it was so far away that my old iPhone 8 couldn't get a sharp image. Even so, you can tell who's who, and I love all the smiles.
We spent yesterday with Son #2 and his family finally having our Christmas celebration with them. Illness delayed us first, and then we determined waiting until the wicked cold weather broke was the safe way to go. It got up to 21ยบ on Sunday and was wonderfully sunny.

| Family with Grandpa |
We had a grand time sharing a meal, getting caught up, and opening the gifts that had been waiting over a month. Of course, we needed photographs before the girls had to leave for other commitments. One was heading back to her college dorm, and the other had to work her second job last night.
Grandpa and I left shortly afterward and were home before dark. All the furry girls were glad to see us, and we were happily tired from our day. I don't think there really is anything better than spending time with beloved family.
I spent Saturday canning, and I'll be doing more of the same today. I've been taking pictures, so if you want to see what I've accomplished, I'm posting about that tomorrow.
Oh, I'm also taking a Zoom class online this morning that I'll tell you about later in the week. It's not needlework-related, and there are more sessions this week. I'm pretty excited about it. It's about 90 minutes long each session, and will start at 11 am CT, so I'm going to grab a coffee, my supplies and a notebook.
I hope you'll join me again as I look forward to a fun and productive week. I'll see you again tomorrow!
Looks like a fun day with family.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures.

Hi Marilyn:
DeleteIt sure was! Thanks, dear. Hope your appointments are going well, and that you're healing as you should be. Stay safe and warm. I'm so glad it's not quite so cold now, but then there's the issue of more snow. sigh
Hugs,
xoxo

Happy Christmas! Beautiful family with lively smiles. It will be fun to read about your Zoom class. I thought at first you were going to the gym.

Hi May:
DeleteThanks. We sure had fun. Zoom class? Me? Bahahahaha. Thanks for the full-on belly laugh this morning. Stay warm, girlfriend.
Hugs,

I've always maintained that Christmas celebration is whatever day you choose to make it. So glad you were all able to spend time together (and that the weather has warmed up a little!).
ReplyDeleteHi MA:
DeleteNot only Christmas, either! Our girls both have birthdays in AUGUST a week apart. Last year, I could not figure out what to give them. Inspiration hit after our Harry Potter outing in December. I gave each one a Scentsy™ Harry Potter warmer. #1 got a Hedwig warmer, and #2 got Hogwarts. They loved them. It really was nice spending time with all of them. They're great people and a lot of fun. They're so busy going in all directions, so it doesn't happen often, but it's pure joy when we can all gather. Stay warm, girlfriend.
Hugs,
xoxo

Aww, beautiful family! Such a warm cozy time in the midst of the deep freeze! (And, yes please, I would love to attempt that decadent cinnamon roll recipe!)
ReplyDeleteHi Lois:
DeleteThanks so much, dear. It was nice, indeed. I'll put up the recipe this week! You'll love how simple and easy it is. Stay warm, dear.
Hugs,
xoxo

Definitely looks like a wonderful fun day.
ReplyDeleteYou are so blessed with such a wonderful, beautiful family.
Enjoy the Zoom class.

Sherryofcreateology: Family time is Priceless. Yes, these are genuine happy smiles. I am interested in hearing about your zoom class. Technology is beyond me so far. I can barely function with my old Samsung Galaxy S10+ cell phone. Wonderful week dear.
