Christmas Celebrations

December is always a busy month, but it is always fun to get together with friends and  loved ones. Starting the month off, on the 8th, we enjoyed a family holiday get together with all the family at my niece's house.
Yesterday we spent the day with my oldest son, Tommy, Kelley and the kids. Steven, Robin and Bella also came. The house was beautifully decorated and the tree was HUGE and was filled with ornaments that had been received throughout the years.
Tommy cooked a wonderful dinner, starting with homemade French onion soup, lettuce wedge salad, prime rib that was so tender, green beans, roasted potatoes, corn and rolls. Then there were so many desserts.
After cleaning up from dinner gifts were opened. Bella was so excited. 
before we ate there was a knock on the door and neighbors had stopped by to sing Christmas carols. How nice.
who put this bow on my head??..Gramma did you do that?



Months ago after Bella saw an ad for the Pixar/Disney movie Brave that has been all she has talked about. Uncle Tommy gave Bella a Brave wand and she loved it.
