We open all the presents early in the morning. I take lots of pictures, then we prepare a lot of food since my in-laws come to visit the family, plus my parents are visiting us this year as well.

Happy B-day!

Happy day early birthday Cathie! I can't imagine having my bday at the same time as Christmas and here you are sharing gifts with us! How sweet!

We have been up north all week here at my parents, but we will be making the trip back home to spend Christmas Eve with very close family friends and then Christmas morning and day at home with just our boys. We will be in our PJ's most of the day watching movies, playing games and just enjoying each others company. Quiet, together time that we don't get often is exactly what we always look forward to!

Merry Christmas to you and your family and a very Happy Birthday to you!!!

Christmas is a whirlwind for us!

Christmas Eve with my Dad, siblings and their families.

Christmas morning with my partner; my oldest daughter, her husband and their 7 month old son; my son; my 6 year old daughter; my father-in-law; my Mom and Step-Dad.

Christmas evening with my Mom, Step-Dad and his children and their families.

And the day after Christmas with my partner's family -- her dad, brother, his wife and their children and families.

It will be wild and wonderful!

Sending you best wishes for a very Happy Birthday and a Merry Chritmas, Cathie!

Amy said...

This year is going to be a little differnt ofr us. My mom passed away Monday (the 20th) morning, so our plans have drastically changed. We will be celebrating and remembering her as well as trying to help my dad and do the things she wanted to do this year. It's hard to believe it's so close to Christmas! Happy Birthday, and thanks for the chance to win such lovely things!

Happy Happy Birthday!!!
This year will be a very different Christmas since my husband died recently (Nov 29). My daughter is having me sleep over at her house on Christmas Eve. Then I get to watch 2 of the 13 grandkids open gifts. I will stay for dinner with them and then later go over to my parents house to see the rest of the family

I spent Christmas with my family. Started out eating Gma's breakfast souffle. Opening presents, playing games, and laughing until it hurts!!!
Played one of our new games "Quelf". Tomorrow will be another one of our new games played. Anyone that knows my family probably knows that we love games so of course we love getting new ones!!!

Monica said...

This is the first year that I was able to start new memories. I have been married for 2 years and growing up I always dreamed of having a xmas party. I did so this year and baked goodies, played Wii, had the White Elephant game and ate, ate, and ate some more. It was a Disney theme xmas and I think I was a success.

Lisa said...

Merry Christmas hope you all have a Happy and SAFE New Year!

In past years we always did the traveling to visit the family but, with the addition of two little ones, we decided to invite the family down here so the kids could run in their PJ's all play with their new toys all day! It was great! Way too much food, but lot's of fun memories just waiting to be scrapped!

Best to all! Lisa

Oh, rats! I didn't see this! Since you won't draw names until the 3oth, maybe I still have a chance? We opened presents as soon as the little one's got up, then we had all of my husbands family over, fed them our yummy turkey dinner, and then opened presents with them. Over all it was fun, but as always it's nice to be done with it for another year.

pjahromi said...

My Serendipity said...

Happy, Happy Birthday to you! What a special day to have a birthday!
All my children are grown with their own little ones this year but we are still playing Santa to a 1 1/2 year old we have received guardianship to. It's been a long time since we have had a little one on Christmas morning! We let him open his gifts then have dinner with the rest of our family and have a gift exchange afterwords. We have 4 little grandchildren this year! What fun times!

jennydecuir said...

Hope you had a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy Birthday!!! This year we spent the holiday with my husband's family. My in-laws have nine grandchildren, five step-grandchildren, and four step-great-grandchildren. It's a very full house, but lots of fun with all the kids. It's also very interesting for my dd who is an only child to be around all the cousins with siblings. She loves the peace and quiet of home after the large get together.

4kids4 said...

Happy belated Birthday! What a wonderful day to be born on...so much excitement every year! This year, my 4 kids, my husband and I will travel to NH to spend Christmas Eve with my parents, aunt and brother. Then we'll travel to Massachusetts to spend Christmas Day with my husband's mom, siblings, nieces and nephews. Finally, we'll return home the day after Christmas to see what Santa left under the tree for our kids. It's a whirlwind 3-day celebration, but I wouldn't have it any other way!

Unknown said...

Happy Birthday!!!!

We keep a low key Christmas around here. The kids get up and open gifts from Santa and then my in-laws come over and we play games most of the day. Low prep meals and snacks are out all day and we just sit back and enjoy being together.

Thank you for sharing your birthday with us!!!!

Ashley said...

Happy Holiday. As of today, I am a follower of this blog.

For Christmas, I spent half of the day with my mother and my son. Then later on we went over my friend Penny's house for dinner with her family. We had a blast. Penny is so merry and funny.

Take care,

Hi! I am a new cricut user as of this Christmas. I've wanted one for the past few years. I was so excited to watch your class in Elko. My sweet husband found a cricut for me on sale with 4 cartridges at AC Moore. I was so surprised. We celebrated Christmas quietly with a new neighbor friend that has just moved to VA from AZ. We ate in the living room while our two boys placed a video game, we played board games and I laughed so hard I wet my pants! I know! It was a great time! We took the dogs for a walk in the snow. It was a sweet Christmas with a new friend! Can't wait to learn from you. Happy New Year, and a late Birthday wish! Danielle

Unknown said...

I am a new folllower to your blog:) I have never followed a blog before so I am kind of nervous. I don't celebrate Christmas but if I did, I would wake up in the morning and sit around the Christmas tree and sing songs, then we would open presents and have a christmas feast. P.S. I am only a kid.

Crafting Misfit said...

I stumbled on your blog tonight. I love it! I got an Expression and Gypsy for Christmas and found your space in an effort to get some ideas :) I celebrated Christmas over the course of 2 weeks by enjoying every minute I could with family and close friends.

Hope your birthday was memorable.
I spent Christmas day with my family...those that were here. We talked on the phone to those who were not. Family, Food, Fun, and the Christmas Story... the memories can't better than this!

Merry Christmas to you and yours!
