AWESOME CHRISTMAS, continued

GOOD MORNING, ALL 
We were so tickled to have a tiny bit of 
THE FLUFFY WHITE STUFF on Christmas Day.
As I talked about in my post of yesterday (12/26) 
we always get up early on CHRISTMAS MORNING
and drive to DAVID'S house, in post of yesterday,
and then ON DOWN THE ROAD to STACY'S house.
 With the wind blowing the snow around, it made for a MISTY look...
this is such a romantic photo of their beautiful house.

Such fun to watch them
"ohhhh and ahhhhh"

Deeds, in the background, didn't even ask for a DOLL this year....bwaaaaa
She is growing up........




 

  WILSON, the family dog, was watching every move we made while snacking...
hoping a few crumbs would fall his way..
Our FLAVORED COFFEE was sooo good and the BREAKFAST CASSEROLE Stacy made...AND, the homemade
CINNAMON ROLLS her mother in law made, were so delicious.
 





A REALLY good photo of
our pretty BRYNNA,
taken Christmas Eve night
at our house.

Just look at that glowing completion....
and shiny hair....*sighhhh









 DREW, with his COOL new sunglasses....
and brother, BROOKS
....gosh....they are both so handsome...




THIS is my very favorite photo of the boys when they were tiny.

My adorable little
DREW and BROOKS....
now 22 and 19.












 Deeds, resting a bit....in fact, I'm pretty sure she's asleep....
whew....a busy time of the year.


Stacy should have had her decorated home featured in a magazine...

everything was just beautiful...

and she does it all so easy....
wherever she sits something, it looks like it was just MADE for that spot.

Not the best photo
 *I think it was taken with a phone*
but I am thrilled to have it. :)
 
We all hope YOUR Christmas was as blessed as ours....

We were so thankful to have DREW home ...he has been living in the beautiful
PORTLAND, OREGON,
going to school.

I love all our family so much.....
 The snow was still blowing around on our way back
to Sweet Nothings Cottage...
Mr. Sweet said, "Let's eat and sleep the rest of this beautiful
Christmas day"....and I said....."RIGHT ON !".......
and we did just that. :)
An absolute BEAUTIFUL Christmas day filled with blessings....
and tons of goooood foods.

Precious, precious, precious...

And just maybe, I can now figure out your extended family... The 'Grands' I mean. I am so dense that I just can't usually figure out which 'Grand' belongs to which child, etc. ,-))))

Now I can just come back to these 2 posts, and have it all figured out, for me!

What beautiful homes they both have. And how sweet they look, in swirling snow. A memory, for you TX folks.

What a "sweet" holiday. Love all the pictures of your family. So glad you had a little snow. That home is so beautiful.
I can't believe it is over. So much work and thought go into the holidays, it's hard to turn in off.
Happy Shiney New Year.

NO snow in Southern CA. except in the high mountains..which we can see from our family room! I guess that is close enough for me. :)

This tour of your family was just as wonderful as the first one, dear friend!!! Those boys were too stinkin' cute as children!!! Your photos remind me of Willie Nelson's..."On The Road Again"!!!
