MERRY, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Christmas this year was so much fun! With all of our children home for the day, my granddaughter Celes celebrating her FIRST Christmas and my sister 'Lene and her family here  I do not know how it could have been any better.
Christmas Eve 2010 we started our evening off with the Oakes family joining us for our annual evening of finger foods, treats and wassail and traditional game of Christmas Bingo.
It was a fun evening and I believe everyone was in bed and asleep by 11pm!
 Christmas morning was full of excitement
and LOTS of wrapping paper!
It was wonderful to have all of our kids home in the states!
Josh, Ali and Celes arrived before I was awake so they could be here to enjoy the morning with everyone.
Children laughing and getting so excited....it was Awesome!
Sweet Celes was all about opening tearing the paper off her gifts!
Her favorite was her Sassy bouncer. I might have to add more pics of her playing in it.
We have been trying to add as many of Sergio's Argentine traditions as we can.
Where he and Kira  lived in Tucuman at midnight Christmas Morning the have a
HUGE...I mean HUGE fireworks display.
Midnight in Argentina is 8:00pm here in Idaho....
so...
let the NEW TRADITION begin!

My Favorite Day of the Year...CHRISTMAS EVE!

I always loved Christmas Eve at my Grandma Williams house. It was full of fun, food, song and mostly love. I was so blessed to be part of such a great family. I look at this picture that was taken a very long time ago and see many of the faces are no longer here on this earth with us, but with the knowledge of families can be forever I am comforted.
I know tonight that many will be meeting together to celebrate that wonderful tradition. I am thinking of you, and wish you all a wonderful Christmas!
No you will not find me...but look and you will find 'lene second in on the second row
