Christmas is always a favorite time of mine but nothing makes it better than to have children and grandchildren around. I don't care where we are but I love having family close by.
This year Elizabeth, James, Gwenevere and Gracie Li made the trip over from Tacoma as did Tessha and her friend Patrick. Alisha and Gracie were also with us.
We waited for James to arrive to help me get the tree down from the garage and put up in the living room. I have to think that without James around we may have gone tree-less this year. Thank so so much James!
Gwenevere did her part to decorate the tree then ended up playing with Auntie Grace and the empty tree box.
We hung the stocking by the chiminey with care and went off to bed for the night.
Morning brought Santa and stockings and presents to unwrap.
We were able to skype with Seth in Germany but I think we put him to sleep before we were done.
It didn't take long and others drifted back off to sleep, too.
Others began preparing our Christmas dinner.
Most of all we simply enjoyed the time with one another.
Thank you all for spending time with us. You made it another wonderful Christmas Day.
