The Big Day...

 ...has once again come and gone...and it was an early start on a busy day.

We had a house full of folks coming over in the afternoon to exchange Christmas gifts, enjoy some fellowship and eat lots of good food Karen prepared.

love those slippers

my crew, part 1...

...and part 2.

And Karen's crew, parts 1...

...and 2.

Would have been nice to enjoy a white Christmas...

...but since all those folks had to drive here and home again, it was good to have dry roads for safe travel.

So, another one is in the books already...how does this happen every year??

We did our best to slow things down, embrace the time, and even kept track of the passing days on Mr. Snowman...

...but it didn't help...it still raced by at lightning speed.

Oh well...hope yours was filled with grace, love and laughter.

And speaking of laughter, here's a parting shot on your way out the door...

Catherine and Rodger the Naughty Elf...hey, she said it, not me

On to New Year's!

later, mcm fans...
