Christmas morning pictures and a few that's not

I decided in between coughing and feeling achy because of a cold I have now, to post a few more  of my Christmas morning.     I have managed to finish a few of my cards to send out.
First year in about I guess 6 that Annette and her family have come home.  So nice having them with Derek , Miranda and that little sweetie Addy.   We hope grand
 children in Hawaii will be here next Christmas and hopefully long before.  I got this sweet little picture of them along with this happy carved Santa.

 

 

Ryan - Tyler - and new baby Alaina.  You can see they are in warm climate

I may put him in a wreath next year or keep him the way he is and hang on wall

Annette ready for picture taking

Annette taking picture of John and Seth - John is playing with one of Seth's gifts, as his are more fun.

I meant to post this in the previous post,  reflections in brass columns in Richmond at James center of Seth and me

we got this book from Addy of her first year - so neat

such a sweetie

I bought this book of stained glass panels on vellum or something like it.  I put them in the windows every year.

Uncle John finished putting together the dinosaur - she loves it

Mom in background on right - I will post a close up of her when I go through my pictures,  so happy she was there.

Here is mom and Addy,  I hope that everyone that took pictures for me will send me a copy,  I didn't get a chance to take to many

in P.J.s - she knows what's coming before to long

I got several handmade gifts and this one is from Donna,  she made it and I hung it on the wall where it will hang every Christmas

 

time for this

really helps
