Merry Christmas--2012
My custom for the past few
years has been to create
a Christmas ABC post
for our annual Christmas "letter".
This year, I decided to go into the
picture archives and just
randomly pull some of
my favorite Christmas pictures
and memories. I decided that
since the Christmas ABC's
had 26 pictures representing
the 26 letters, I could not exceed that number.
This post is picture intensive. I
have learned that creating a blog
is as much for the writer and for the
reader. So, if you choose to not look
at all the photos, I will never know,
and will certainly not be offended.
If you stop here, just know
that David and I wish you a
VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS
&
A WONDERFUL 2013.
For the brave among you, read on.
Our first Christmas with a grandchild. |
It's hard to believe that this little guy is almost 6 and is in Kindergarten. |
I bought this Santa at Tease Me Hair Salon. I love taking it out every year. |
For many years, I had a Christmas tree forest. It is one of the few things I regret "weeding out" when we moved. |
David taught the young adult class at Southeast Church of Christ for many years and we hosted an annual brunch for "our" kids. Miss those sweet faces. |
Our stocking selection has grown as we have added more grandchildren. |
Mandy and Jeremy. A favorite shot. |
Classic Kelly. Love this photo. |
Much like Poppy used to do to Jeremy, Aunt Kelly has stolen Caleb's special blanket. |
I love baking with my 3 little guys. |
Our first Christmas in Colorado at our townhouse. |
You have to wash your hands before you start the Christmas baking. |
What a fun Christmas all four of our kids were expectantly waiting for their two little guys. It's hard to believe they are 2 1/2 years old now. |
A favorite "self-timed" Christmas photo. |
Yes, that's Caleb talking to Elmo. Now his brother loves Elmo and he's into Super Heroes. |
Sweetie and Poppy would always go from house to house to their 4 children on Christmas Day. What fun memories! |
Last Christmas, we visited Harding for our nephew Ryan's wedding to his sweet bride Caitlin. |
These 3 little guys truly love each other. I can't wait to see how they will react to the little girl Kelly and Adrian are expecting in April. |
We had our Christmas on December 1st this year. What a lot of fun!!! |
This creation, made by Caleb and Aaron will certainly become a Christmas heirloom. |
See the Santa in Aaron's hand? It cost Nana $1 at the Dollar store and was his favorite present. |
I didn't get a photo of this, but wish you could have seen David chowing down on all the goodies in his stocking. He had a field day! |
