Our Grandson's First Christmas!

We had a very special Christmas at our home.


Christine and Mike brought baby Richard over
on Saturday. They stayed until Monday morning.
We had a very lovely time!


Richard is 2 1/2 months old. He has so much personality!
What a good looking boy! He is very happy, too! Grandma LOVED
talking with him and snuggling. He loves being talked to! Smiles and laughs!
Gets excited and waves his arms, kicks his feet and then talks back. :) Great fun!


Mike and Chris seemed to have a good time!
Christine is a good little momma!

See? He is so happy! He is so sweet!!!
Just want to kiss those little cheeks!! ok. I did...more than once.


Uncle Tom, who kept telling Richie that he had a cabin to give him,
played Santa at gift time.


I think Richie was praying for something good!?



He's just so snuggly! I just love this little dude
so much!!


Aunt Anna wanted lots of snuggle time, too!
She's so good with babies!


He was waiting for dinner. We had prime rib, scalloped taters,
rolls, shrimp salad, green beans, olive balls, and Anna made our favorite:
Huckleberry pie! ala mode of course!

Of course we had to have a fire in the fireplace!!
Even if it was on TV....
It was a great Christmas filled with the love of family with a new baby!
Loved having everyone together!
Yet, at the top of my thoughts and in my heart, I kept thinking of my dear friend and how hard THIS particular season has been on her. Loving thoughts and prayers were sent to her wishing that she could have a good day with her family.
