Hope your Christmas was Merry!
The leftovers are done with. The extra cookies and rolls are frozen, and tomorrow the menu goes back to normal. The Christmas tree will stay up for another week or two. Then winter begins in earnest.
I don't take pictures at Christmas any more, but others do and so far, these are the memories that have been posted on Facebook so far. Somebody counted 19 in the house -- I have no idea. One grandson was not feeling well, and a granddaughter and her family including the Christmas baby from last year were visiting in South Dakota. Two other granddaughters and their families who live in different states were also not with us this year.

| Norene is sitting in front of the window, my daughter Chris is in front of her, and the little boy is her son Dylan, the lady in the green sweater is my daughter Cheryl, and Riana is sitting at the table. Someone has been busy opening a present. We begin this part of the evening by each person opening a present and they have to decide who the present goes to -- then that person opens a present and gives it to the person they think should have it. Sometimes it gets pretty funny. Christine received a set of bed risers, and every time somebody received something they weren't quite sure what they would do with, Chris would wave the bed risers and say "Could be worse!" and more laughter would erupt. |

My daughter-in-law, Tricia, received a photo of Dorothy and Toto from the Wizard of Oz. This will have a cherished spot in her office.
Norene's saffron rolls on the left are almost gone! They are the highlight of our Christmas Eve dinner.

| This is Oscar who hid under the tablecloth on the dining room table, hoping the littlest girls wouldn't find him and his toy. |
 |
| Over the years I have been given Swedish tomtes who sit on my chandelier all year long. They look particularly festive and happy this Christmas! |
And when the night is over, the little ones are done!

| Elle Mae couldn't make it to the car |

| This one is Alanna |

| This one is Kalea |
 |
| And even 8 year old Dylan was fast asleep on the way home. |
