I like it.  I love it.  Friends and family gather with us on Christmas Eve after the Candlelight Service.  Having these dear ones join us in our Christmas celebration is one of my favorite times of the year.  All are welcome – family, friends, and friends of family and friends.

Friends who gather with us are what makes this night so special.  I was so excited that Daisy and Anna joined us this year.  Daisy does my nails, and she is  wonderful.

Anna had on one of the cutest coats I have ever seen, and she looked darling in it.  I am so glad they came.

Marge, her son Rob, and her grandson Shawn also came.  Shawn is visiting from Oregon.

Stephanie, Ken, and Logan are also in town for Christmas.  They came from both coasts to visit Ron and Evelyn.  It was wonderful to be with them.

I love it when John plays his harmonica.  Thanks John.

Janet and Robert are always a good looking couple.

We enjoyed having Carol and Jim join us this year.  Hope they come back.

Becky and David are enjoying having Tex home from Alabama.  Love his bow tie – looks so collegiate.

We have the nicest neighbors – Stella and Chris and their boys Austin and Jared.  Hot Rod enjoys playing with them.

Jane and John have been our friends since we first moved to Richardson.  I love celebrating with them.

So glad Pretty Baby came with her Mommy and Daddy.  This year Jenny didn’t have to work.  Yea!

Number Two Son works with Ella, and she came with her daughters Elysa and Kaira.  I so enjoyed getting to know them.  Now they are also my friends.  Their tinsel headbands are too cute!  We were so happy they came and hope they will come again..

People not pictured.  Number One Son and his family.  Carla and Paul.  Linda and Gaylon.  Bummer!

Thanks to all of you for making our Christmas.

Blessings to you and yours.
