We returned home from Chicago late last night.
It was a great trip, and although there wasn't any snow, it was 29 degrees one night, so that was fun.
Top 10 moments, themes, and highlights of Christmas 2011...
My mom's always gorgeous Christmas table and house decor.
A surprise visit from Santa (Uncle Doug) Claus.
Grandparent time = happy kids.
Add Papa's iPad, and they are even happier.
Christmas Day with 20 of 27 extended family members.
One special cousin/son/brother/grandson/nephew was especially missed.
My Dad seriously needs a support group for individuals
who can't stop themselves from buying too many Christmas gifts.
Although I'm sure the grandkids would disagree with me on that one.
13 stockings this year.
It's fun to have a brother-in-law with access to the church gym on a cold Chicago day.
Abby is ALL ABOUT DADDY right now.
Here she is sadly waiting for him to get out of the bathroom.
Loved being at my sister's cute Swedish house for 28 hours.
The 5 happy cousins.
(Here they are at Christmas 2010)
And just for the record here are the dates that were given this year between me and my sisters:
- (Chicago) Dinner at Chilam Balam and tickets to see Second City
- (Nashville) Dinner cruise and show aboard the General Jackson showboat
- (San Diego) Champagne Brunch in the San Diego Harbor with Flagship
It was a very merry Christmas.
