Holiday's past . . . some fun times!

 Here are some fun shots of our 2009 family pre-Christmas.  We had to have a pre-Christmas party because my brother, sister-in-law and their two daughters were going to be in Florida visiting my sister-in-law's family. The good news is they said they'd never do it again!

On of my nieces, recently home from college pointed  out that "girls rule" in our family.  We have more females than males, and we usually have a lot of fun.  This photo started out originally with two people, and people kept jumping in!  

 This was early in the evening, not much wine had been consumed at this point, my mom even jumped in for this photo shoot, and yes, one of my nieces was laying on the floor looking up at us!

Here's a pic of my sisters Christmas tree, it was huge!  It was so huge that her husband had to fasten it to the wall!

I'm looking forward to posting this years Christmas photos!  I'm also thrilled to be finished with one of my graduate classes and my student teaching - one more to wrap up!  And I'd like to wish my hubby a very Happy Birthday (Dec. 8th) this past Wednesday!  He's a wonderful guy!
