Start Each Day With a SMILE...

Merry Christmas to ALL...

Even Daisy got spoiled this year! Santa brought her a new bone and toy! Lucky dog!

Before making our way to visit our families on Christmas, we had our own little "First Christmas." Santa was really good to us this year! He left us all sorts of goodies and stockings full of treats! My hubby gave me a pair of cowboy (cowgirl) boots and a Willow Tree angel. I gave him a few hats, including a real nice cowboy hat! We had a good time celebrating the holiday at our home.

CHRISTMAS MORNING

Christmas morning was loads of fun! Gram and Gramp D. were there along with all the kids and grandkids! Mom D. fixed a delicious breakfast for us and then we all exchanged gifts. We spent the morning laughing, chatting, and playing with all the toys the kids received. We are so thankful to have family nearby so we can spend the holidays together!

.......

All sorts of fun was had with the family! Mom & Dad D. got a photo frame and certificate for a family portrait, we gave our nephew a toy bow, my sister-in-law and I got really pretty nativity sets, and the big boys had a good time playing with the little boy toys! My honey received a pair of snow shoes from his parents and I got a really nice wool vest and sweater. What a great Christmas!

CHRISTMAS AFTERNOON

We spent the afternoon with my parents and family. When we got there they had already opened their gifts so they sat back and watched us enjoy opening ours. We passed out the gifts we had brought for everyone, we had shared lots of laughs, then we all lounged and watched a movie till lunch/dinner time! It was such a fun day!

Everyone liked the gifts they received this year. I think dad especially liked the down vest we gave him! My parents gave us a few games, a nice comforter set and a stocking full of trinkets. My hubby also received a pair of wool pants for his winter hunts and I got a jewelry box and clothes. Mom cooked a delicious meal for the gang later that afternoon. We had so much fun spending time celebrating the holiday with our families!

...and to ALL a good night!!
