Family Christmas Eve

There seemed to be nothing missing from this Christmas - only Shannon & Ryan. But as you can see, the tree was loaded and everyone seemed to enjoy.
We had a sub sandwich bar and sparkling cider to drink. YUM!

Overload of ornaments on the tree.






I made poodle skirts for the little girls. They twirled and twirled and loved them. It was fun to do.

This picture was something to get done. I am famous in my family for closing my eyes during pictures. They can snap and snap pictures and most of the time, my eyes will be closed or half closed. My family hates family pictures - I think it's because we have to take so many to get one good one. We have tried every trick there is, but I always have a hard time. To get this picture it took 14 shots. And it wasn't fun for Cliff anymore. It must be something in my head. But finally we got a "OK" shot. I think my best shots are ones that I don't know are coming.
