Hard to believe, but Christmas has come and gone once again. We have had such a busy season, as usual, but are grateful to be enjoying the 'afterglow' of Christmas Day. Chris & Nathalie, Colton & Rogan arrived in Tennessee from Nebraska last week, and have been staying with her parents in Antioch. They came to stay with us Christmas Eve, and will be here for the coming week while I'm off work. We're loving it! Randi, Andrew & Cielo came yesterday and we enjoyed having them here for Christmas Day, dinner, and watching all these sweet little guys opening presents with such excitement! It's hard to believe these 4 little grandsons are getting so big!! What a joy they are...
Getting these 4 to sit still was a Christmas Day miracle!
Making homemade CALZONES and chicken wings on Christmas Eve, Chris & Nath's tradition (YUMMY!)



This photo shows one of the heart-shaped ornaments Nathalie and I made this summer. It's a piece from the border of my parents' "Golden Anniversary" Quilt (that Nath made), sewn around the edges with 'threads of gold'. We gave one to each family so they'd have a piece of G&G's special quilt!&G's quilt! It looks so pretty on our tree...
This is cute little Rogan right after he woke up. He's holding tight to his new little teddy bear!
Grammy has her arms full of Cielo and Rogan!
Mike & Diane Alexandre (Nathalie's parents) joined us for Christmas Dinner. We are just going to have to get a bigger kitchen as our family keeps growing...that's all there is to it!
Grayson's a happy camper --
he "FINALLY" got his own cell phone for Christmas!
