Family Christmas

On this sixth day of Christmas Ken and I spent several hours with our family. There were 17 of us tucked into our living room. Plus later in the day, two of my nephew's friends showed up. Here are a couple of shots of the table. Since we were having a snack party I decide on simple but festive for the table decor. Remember the placemats from this past summer? I thought they'd work really well for today's party purpose. That cute little box holding the plasticware is a gift box. I received a gift on Friday and thought it worked great today. It's cute too!

Since we had most of

we celebrated Pop's
birthday today also.

*****************
We had a great time today.
Lots of food, laughs and
good times spent with each other. It is always
great to see family that
live out of town.
Having a baby in the family
who will be celebrating her
first Christmas is great fun too.
Hope you are able to spend
time with family this holiday
season.
~Keep on Dreaming~
