A Quiet Christmas

We had a nice and quiet Christmas this year.  We spend Christmas morning at our house, eating sausage pinwheels, drinking lots of eggnog…  YUM!!  Then in the afternoon we headed to my parents house, just up the dirt road.   I love being around my family, all 15+ of us.  A lot of tissue paper being thrown everywhere, Thank you’s being yelled across the room,  kids squealing when they see what new toy they got…  We missed having Lou Lou and Squishy Winking smile with us this year, but they visited us via Skype… My sisters and their technology… gotta love it!  I didn’t get many photos of Christmas day, but these are all from the month of December!!
