ReplyDeleteYou are so blessed with such a beautiful, loving family. I am glad your Christmas was so wonderful! I am cleaning up a little at a time, taking things down and packing them away a bit. I will have it finished by the end of the week, but not putting pressure on myself. It didn't go up in one day and it will surte take more than a day to get it put away:>)
ReplyDeleteIt looks as if you had a terrific time with your loved ones.
ReplyDeleteYou are one busy lady! I'm so glad you had such a wonderful Christmas surrounded by your loved ones. That's what its all about! You have such a beautiful family. I'm sure it delighted your heart more than any present, and its clear to see that grandma sure spoils them with all the yummy treats!
ReplyDeleteA belated Merry Christmas!

I hope this coming year is a prosperous and healthy one for you.

Hi BJ
ReplyDeleteSuch joy and laughter in your pictures. Your grandchildren are lovely and it looks like they get along so well and share alike with crafts and just being adorable too.
Thank you so much for sharing.
have a wonderful couple of days getting things sorted out...
I'm glad your Christmas was a cheerful one.

Your Christmas looks like it was positively marvelous BJ. What a beautiful family and don't you just look adorbale between those 2 cute boys!!! I'd want my picture taken with them too!!!
ReplyDeleteI'll be taking down some of the decorations and packing things away for another year this weekend as well.
By the way, love your new header with your McKenzie Childs tea kettle...nice!
Happy Hugs, Andi
PS...they have airplanes that will take you to NYC in a jiffy!
BJ, your family photos warm my heart and yearn to see my darlings too. We had Christmas alone and it was pretty lonely. They all did the in-laws thing this year. We have to share and we do not live close to our darlings now. We did have Christmas dinner with my sister and some very loved other family members.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your beautiful family with your blogging friends.
Love and hugs...Jeanne
My, my you are so blessed to have such a large family! Looks like you all had a wonderful time! Happy New Year to you and your family!
ReplyDeleteLove the polka dots, Jean! I don't think it's too busy at all. Of course I love polka dots anyway. That picture of Brooks is really good. He is making a very handsome fellow. Your Christmas looks so relaxed and happy. That's the way it's supposed to be. So glad your family was all around you. That just makes Christmas wonderful. All the pictures are really good. Will get your pie plate to you soon. That pie was out of this world! Thanks again for it!
ReplyDeleteLove you!
Martha
Hi, sweet BJ! What great pics of a fun Christmas! You sure have a cute crew! :-)
ReplyDeleteI have a call in to my friend about the pillow you admired on my blog. You're welcome to link to it. I didn't see a copyright thingy on the pillow, so I would assume you'd be okay to make one if we can't find out where she got it. I think you need one, though!
It's very cute, and the fringe was so much fun... bright green with the lettering in pink! It's a real festive pillow. I got it about two or three years ago as a gift, but I am going to check and see where Margaret got it. If we can't find it online or in a store, I don't think it would be difficult to make, and you could pick your own colors that would work for you. These were for a bedroom I have with all sorts of fun things in it... bright colors and things. Like I said, I looked for a tag and didn't find one on it. I'm waiting to hear from Margaret. :-)
XO,
Sheila :-)
BJ, Thanks for sharing your Christmas. I'd like to thank you for the sympathy that you expressed over the sudden passing of my husband. I should be back to blogging by the middle of next week.
ReplyDeleteWith love,
Sweetie
Great family, great celebration! And I love your new black and white dotty space!
ReplyDeleteLook at all those wonderful smiling faces! Looks like Christmas was very nice at your place :) Is that your daughter Stacy with the green shirt? She looks so much like you! I pulled all of my stuff down yesterday and now I'm playing with new vignettes over here!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Lovely pics BJ!! I am undecorating on the 1st....Hubby still has another week off so we are being couch potatoes and eating leftovers too...if we didn't have to walk the dog then we probably wouldn't get any exercise at all...LOl! Actually I had to throw some sweets away,,I was the only one eating them and that was not good!
