MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I love sending Christmas cards.

In fact, I have sent one every year since we have been married.

They started out handmade.

So very grateful technology took over after a couple of years doing that!

And so very grateful I only had about 20 to send out back in the day!

One year I will post them all from the beginning.

This 15th addition might be my favorite one.

Colbie, my cousins wife, whipped it up in a day for me.

Bless her.

Gone are the days of me creating by hand or computer.

I'll leave it to the pros for now on!

 The Holmes/Piachitelli's joined us again for our annual Christmas Eve feast

 at the Cheesecake Factory!

These silly cousins sure love spending time with each other.

And they sure love the tradition of  getting to choose their own cheesecake!

Rusty took his role of writing a note to Santa and leaving it next to

 whatever cookies we haven't eaten out of the neighborhood treat stash.

Christmas morning!

The hit gift was this Crossfire game!

They actually played with it for weeks after Christmas.

I love getting the mail and opening all of  the Christmas cards.

This year we received more than we ever have!
