CHRISTMAS WITH SAFE-T-INSPECTOR

Every year for the past four years, we have gone to my son Joe (Also known as SafeTinspector to you blog readers) and Heather's house for Christmas Eve. This year was no exception. Though, the amount of people who participate has grown. This year was Riley Louise's first Christmas. She was all chubby and cuddly, and laughed at everyone, especially here grandmother, me. Samantha was very grown up at 5- 1/2, helping with Riley, handing out presents, and even taking her own toys out of their entrapment in their store boxes.

Here is a picture of Samantha and Riley in their Christmas dresses:

Also present -- Jerry, his steady girl, Irene, Lisa, Vicky, Brett, and Papa, also known as Tom, my husband. Tom spent a lot of the evening holding a sleeping Riley on his lap and getting very adept at opening his presents one handed. We tried out having a gift exchange this year for the first time, so everyone did not have to buy a present for everyone. That worked out well, except Heather and Joe got each other. Tom went his own way, getting a present for everyone anyway. May not be a bad idea, as we informed everyone they had presents at our house and would have to drop over to get them.

I did take pictures of our Christmas Eve gathering, but will post them later. Merry Christmas to all and to all a Good Night.
