Once more, Mike and Mary Jane hosted us all for a Christmas feast. People came from near and far to celebrate as a family.
Before dinner, everyone was just catching up, the kids were all playing and the adults were snitching pieces of ham as fast as it was cut. That's family time.
Of course, no candid photos would be complete without a good photobomb. This is me and Mary Jane, with my favorite niece and nephew providing the photobombing!
Lots of family, lots of noise, lots of food. And not necessarily in that order.
We had most of the family together. I'm proud that our family, while dysfunctional at times, can come together as a family. So many families that I know that want nothing to do with each other. I don't know what I'd do without the craziness and love of these people!
Yes, I know I'm in a lot of shots! When you write the blog, you get to be in as many shots as you like. So there!
So that was Christmas dinner # 3. While we were able to come together as a family, we are now scattered to the winds. Cathie is still in California. JoBeth and her family are back in New York. Jim is back in Pennsylvania (as is Phil right now) and tomorrow Michael heads back to China. We are scattered, but we're still family, like it or not.
And we have an addition to our family! Mike and Mary Jane have recently added a couple of finches to their home. The finches have gotten busy and added three babies to the family!! Here are mom and dad finch as well as two of the babies! The third baby was staying in the nest, away from all of the noise and my picture taking.
Gotta love babies, even bird babies.
Another Christmas season is in the books. Here's looking forward to a safe, happy, healthy and prosperous New Year for us all.
Keep watching! Exciting new news is coming tomorrow!
