christmas at our house.... (picture heavy)

For the most part, our decorations were the same as last year - the outside lights, the garland and lights on the stairs, as well as the wreath on the door, so I'm not posting pictures of those this time around.


This year, we had a full house again, in that the whole family was here for dinner on Christmas eve. There were 15 of us in total. Here are some pictures from that night...



My sister in law made a tree from the left over pearl garland on one of the tables... it was very pretty, but it didn't last long Christmas eve with little hands grabbing every where :O)



My nativity set up on the piano


One of the two tables, since we all didn't fit at one... you can see the second smaller one in the background...


Our tree, as well as our little Christmas angel who helped with gifts Christmas eve...

Our traditional family shot, though my oldest brother is hiding behind me - my dad, his three kids (me + my two brothers) and our spouses, 5 grandkids + one spouse, and 2 great grand kids.


Usually I add at least one ornament or somesort of Christmas decoration to our collection each year, and this year was no different. This year was the addition of Santa's reindeer... I bought them at Chapter's thinking they would go on the tree, but they turned out too big and heavy for the branches, so on the wall they went! And yes they are in order with Rudolph leading the pack!

Christmas morning, Santa had arrived and brought more gifts for the girls, and as you can see they were pretty excited! We also found our kitty snuggled in her spot surrounded by the tree and gifts waiting to see what Santa had brought her...
