Christmas Eve, Tom and I went to my younger brother Richard's house for dinner. After dinner, gifts were exchanged.

Christmas Day, Tom and I had dinner with my sons, daughter in law, grand children and my daughter in laws mother. Great meal and fun family time.

Christmas night we went to my niece Trish's for another big meal. I snapped some fun pictures. My sister in law, Terry's sister, Lisa brought a fun Elf hat that was actually quite heavy. When you pressed a button lights flashed and bells jingled. We had a lot of laughs fooling around with that silly hat.
Cody..looking panicky when the hat first started to move on his head
Kyle not sure if he is liking that elf hat or not.
my 93 year old dad getting in on the fun
I even put the crazy elf hat on my 88 year old mother. Mom and I
Christmas night...Mom and Dad. I really like this picture of my parents. Mom has Alzheimer's and she was having a very good day. It is so sad to see your aging parents decline mentally and physically.
the silliness continued..I put a huge blue bow on mom's head.
then of course it was Dad's turn.
Thankfully everyone has a good sense of humor. I can't take posed or serious pictures all of the time. One of my all time favorite pictures I've taken is of my Dad when he was 80 riding a around the cranberry bog on a bicycle. We had a wonderful Christmas even though Tom wasn't feeling that great, and I still had my cough. I'm feeling so much better now.
Getting ready for the New Year..no big plans. We use to go to parties, but now we prefer to stay home. Tom and I will probably just go out for Chinese food and then come home to watch a movie. I probably won't even be able to stay awake to see in 2012. What do you do on New Year's Eve?
