It appears that years ago Santa expected a glass of fine wine instead of milk and cookies


I know Here in NC, He still gets wine.............. And milk, hot chocolate, orange juice, cookies and carrots for the reindeer.

Last night we had a small celebration with some of our "kids" here at our house.
Although she was have an allergic reaction to a new shirt she'd been wearing, our granddaughter had fun. She had several plans for the evening; eating cat food, (We did catch her in time!

) playing in the cats' water, and of course, chasing the cats!

Children are the best part of Christmas.

Here she is with her new toy, a great hit with her! Grandpa Bert helped her with it for a while, and they had great fun. She suddenly looked at him, pointed her finger at him and told him, "Don't!" Of course her parents were mortified

but we've all been there and know how kids love to do these things to their parents!

Christmas Eve was kind of crazy, Lain's friends brought their guitars. Lots of good music, good food. Today should be calm

Heres a shot of us after filling up every garbage bag from here to your
house with wrapping paper and those little ties that hold the toys in
their boxes and piling all the toys in their rooms so as that we can
actually walk in our living room. It'll all start again as soon as
Grandma & grandpa get here with the Mother load!

This was the table before it all went to #$%&. After that it just looked like a 2 years try at a collage.

Okay, you asked for Christmas photos...[be careful what you ask for]

Our tradition since we moved here is to go over to the neighbors Christmas Eve and partake in their festivities as part of the 'dys 'fun' tional neighborhood...Had shrimp, Prime Rib, fresh Alaskan Salmon, fresh Alaskan crab, roast chicken..all the fix'ins..I brought Rumuki, deviled eggs, hot fresh black Russian bread, cheese cake, etc. etc. etc.

Here we are....NORTHERN WINOS...

HERE IS OUR HOST AND THE TWO BEAUTIFUL GIRLS HE BROUGHT HOME WITH HIM FROM ALASKA....

2.jpg



It was the girls first time away from their close knit family and their remote Alaskan village. We all brought gifts for them...the first ones that they opened they carefully removed the tape from the paper...looked in awe at their new treasure, with tears in their eyes they'd run to the gift giver and hug and kissed them...it was so heart warming. They were showered with many many gifts and were just spell bound by all the things they had never dreampt of ever having...I felt all choked up.

Then it was time for FAMILY PORTRAITS...[I am only going to include one of some of the 'usual suspects']

3.jpg



I brought 'gag' gifts of those nasty gross teeth and gave them to all 'the regular cast of characters' ...we all laughed till we were sore and horase...just one cheap thrill after another. The girls had a ball, think we kept their minds busy from missing their family and home.

Tomorrow we move our fish spearing house to the lake and will have them spend time out there watching the fish. They have fishing [angling] licenses but can't spear.

Today we went over to some other neighbors for a large noon meal....Christmas is over...we are full.

NW,
I WOULD LOVE TO TRADE PLACES WITH YOU. I CAN'T IMAGINE ANYTHING BETTER THAN WHERE YOU ARE...YOU ARE MOST LUCKY TO BE AWAY FROM THE CITIES WHERE THERE IS STILLA SENSE OF WHAT CHRISTMAS IS ABOUT. YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL COUPLE AND HAVE SUCH A PEACEFUL LOOK AND FEEL TO YOUR POSTS.


EVERYTHING IS SO RUSHED HERE. TOMORROW WILL BE A BUSINESS AS USUAL WORK DAY. HARDLY SEEMS APPROPRIATE. NO TRANSITION....BACK TO MAKING MONEY.


GREAT POST.....NW

It is nice to see all the pictures of you and your families. We are
having a rainy Pacific NW day here. Below are a picture of this years
tree with it's retro lights. We cut it down from the many that are in
our yard. Since we were alone this year, I have posted a couple from
last year. One is Teri and my kids and another is of me.





Hope you are all having a great day!

Its great to see the faces behind the posts. Very nice family you have there tfries.
 
Christmas Day was super for us with a small group of only 9 people this year for dinner. The kids really had fun and have lots of fun with some of the gifts Santa brought. Hosting a dinner is lots of work but with plenty of planning and teamwork it goes very smooth. I would say the meal this year was almost perfect and the best yet.


Here is a picture of the gang...my wife Deb, Tyler age 11 and Hunter age 7.

Here's a collage of my gang at home for Christmas. The oldest(27) is Joe who came home from Milwaukee this year. The one teasing the dog(Ashley) is Rick-the middle son-16. The big one hamming it up is Will-14. The mother of the kids-my wife- is Cindy. The old guy is me. Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and each and everyone of you has a prosperous new year. I had to put in a couple pictures of the surprise 2 inches of snow we got Christmas night.
