Hannelore, What a beautiful picture! Enjoy your time with your brother for the bond between a brother and a sister is truly special. Hope you have a wonderful visit and a Merry Christmas.
And thank you to everyone for sharing their amazing pictures, I've enjoyed everyone and each of you have every reason to be proud. Happy Holidays!

Wow, how have I missed this post.

Jeannine, I love the expression on your oldest grandson's face. Could this be the last year he dresses for this picture? They are all precious.

Hannelore, girl, you're way to young looking to be a boomer. You look like you could be that child's mother.

Georgia, I swear that grandchild resembles you.

Dee, you house looks so Christmassy.

Thank you my dear friends for flattering me so. I posted the picture to show how my granddaughter cuddles. Gosh I love her so much for that.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch…Hubby is in bed with a terrible terrible cold. My brother is in bed with jet lag,
and
I'm free…
as you see…
to posty… (posty?)
tee-hee.

I love all of these pictures. Dee's tree is beautiful and all the grandchildren are amazing and Hannelore looks pretty hot for an old broad.

How precious the babies are. Gosh, I loved the Santa photo. I've not had the experience with build-a-bear but hopefully will find out about that when Adrianna is big enough...she turns one in January. I've been so busy lately. Decorating up until this past weekend, then I got sick, buying presents, trying to organize a family get-together here at the house for this coming weekend...I need a clone of myself.
I've missed talking to everyone on the forums...I've just been so darn busy that I haven't had a minute to stop...but, hopefully after this Saturday, things will be better. We just learned that my husband's son, who entered the Navy a few months back, will probably be heading to Iraq before this is all over. We, of course, are trying to remain positive but one can't help but worry. So, for now, while he's safe and sound in the USA, we're counting our blessings and he'll be spending the holidays with us. Keep him in your prayers, please. Merry Christmas to you all and thank you so much for the wonderful cards I've received thus far. You truly are the sprinkles of joy and I love looking at my cards and showing them to family and friends when they come by. God bless every one of you.

Our Christmas tree this year is our Baby Grand piano! We just don't have room in this new flat. I've arranged the presents under the piano and have a vivid imagination. Think of it, no mess to clean up afterward.

Hey whatever works, Dianne....Christmas in in the heart of the family in the home anyway.

Oh a baby grand piano! I'd take that anytime over a tree. Besides, you can play "Oh Christmas tree" on it.
Do you play piano Dianne? Your husband? Both of you?

LOL! We have it hooked up to a computer that plays it.
