Christmas time is coming

The season is upon us. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration in Bay City with my family. We also celebrated my mom's 89th birthday. There were twenty-two of us together at my Mom's and we were in touch with my oldest brother from the Netherlands over the phone. My youngest brother hosted my nephew and his wife from northern California at his house in Oregon. It seems like I have been barely keeping my head above water and haven't had much time for reading or writing blogs, but when we took our Christmas pictures a couple of weeks ago, I knew just which one had to go on my blog to replace last years shot. I ordered the real ones that you will get in the mail last night, but isn't fun to see us how we really are!!! Enjoy each little thing you choose to do as you celebrate this season of Christ's birth. What is your favorite part your Christmas preparations?
