| First dance recital |
This past weekend was our youngest grand daughter's first dance recital. Loved it! The littlest ones (including ours) were 4 years old and watching them dance... and refuse to dance was adorable.

When asked later why she was acting so grumpy, she said that all she could see was lights and she couldn't see her family... so she didn't know if we were there.

This last pic was taken at the end of the performance when everyone was on stage. Grand daughter looks a bit bored with it all...

Also our daughter and her family live in the Hill Country around San Antonio, Texas. They came down for a quick Christmas visit this week. We took this pic the morning before they left. I think it came out cute... although it was early and we may have all been still half asleep.
It has certainly been a busy few weeks.
I'm hoping to have everyone over here for Christmas dinner Sunday... and get a few pics of the rest of the family. Have the menu planned... fairly simple... Turkey, Stuffing, Bourbon Sweet Potatoes, Broccoli and Cauliflower casserole, and hot rolls! (and DH's cheesecake and our family's traditional baked cookie pudding for dessert) However... I'm fighting a possible coupy cough again. Just started yesterday. Kept me up all night. Got up and took Mucinex and Tylenol. Have 48 hours to get rid of it quickly. Gargling and using saline nasal drops... drinking hot tea and hot chicken soup. Any other suggestions?
The cats are continuing to enjoy the tree... no disasters so far. Here are a few 'around the house' decorations...

Christmas cards and goodies on bar...
Our Santa Elf on Grandfather clock...

| Christmas garland on fireplace |
And lastly... Ghost in her new Christmas bed. We bought this little bed for all to share, but Ghost has taken over it.

ReplyDeleteYou are definitely welcome, DJan. I used to take tons of pics of the kids and grandkids, but haven't lately. Going to try to do better. Have a wonderful Christmas!
DeleteHoping you feel better soon. I've got a cold also and just plan to power through it somehow. Love seeing your family and your decorations.
ReplyDeleteYes, Linda... I'm going to *power through* also! Merry Christmas!
DeleteI remember my parents coming to see some kind of school play we did when I was really little. Though in middle school I tried to pretend there was nobody out there
ReplyDeleteThose childhood plays are wonderful to watch... even when the kids don't co-operate.
DeleteYour grandchildren are adorable !
ReplyDeleteYour decorations look magical, such prettiness !
Wishing you and yours the merriest of Christmases , and look forward to seeing you in the New Year !
Hugs,
