Christmas Here and There


I got to spend Christmas day with the Hofackers at Gladys' house. It was great to see everyone and be able to fellowship with them again. Here Keith is actually sneaking one of Grandma's famous dinner rolls as he waits for dinner to start.



Bill brought his black sheep, "Wool Yum" with him. Alyssa is fascinated by it.

All that wonderful food! Just look at the huge plate of desserts.

And what do you do after such an awesome meal---- you take a nap, of course!

The rest of us exercised our brains after dinner with a little "Name that Christmas Carol" challenge. Holly won the challenge.

Daniel was able to join us. Is that a genuine smile I see on his face!!

Sissy has really come out of her shy period. But then everyone loves Holly :).

Christmas at my house. Lots of smiles. They love their Daddy and got to spend lots of time with him over the holiday.

Daniel was so glad to be able to play with Brutus again.

Daddy helps Alyssa blow bubbles and Hailey plays Santa.

Christmas at Dale and Ann's house in Norwalk. Hailey and Blake seem fascinated with the toothpick dispenser. All that money on toys and toothpicks grab their attention. Go figure.

Jeff and Linda joined the festivities. They brought The Bee Movie for the kids to watch. Although nothing held their attention for very long.

The matriarch of the family, Mom, is doing well. At 86 she is still going strong.

The kids table.

I love this picture! I can't remember the last time I had my picture taken with all three of the boys.

The grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
