first Christmas

Christmas Day..a favorite and a special, but even more so this year with our little Abbie!!! We arrived fairly early at Kassy and Nate's for our traditional Christmas brunch. They had been busy and had everything all ready and so nicely set!!! So much yummy food, and I have to say that breakfast is one of my favorite meals.....





We opened gifts with the "Flagg" side of the family, and just enjoyed being all together!!! Camille had to be the center of attention.. and quickly claimed Dave's lap... they say that people often look like their dogs... but Camille doesn't belong to Dave.. so what's the "family resemblance here?"








Kassy quickly claimed Abbie, as did Banjo!! (all of our dogs are so good with this baby - they truly love her!!)




After Kassy and Nate's we went over to my parent's house to have Christmas with the rest of the family. My sisters and their hubbys and girls...
Little Naomi was such fun to be with and watch as she opened her gifts... at three, she was "really into Christmas" this year!!! I feel so blessed to have children at Christmas time.. nothing like kids at Christmas....








Abbie, of course won't remember this year, but we certainly will. She got a lot of wonderful things, but I think this little horse (a gift from Deb) is going to become a favorite... his name is Douglas, and she held him for the longest time!!!

So another lovely holiday, full of family, wonderful time together, peace and joy. We are so blessed that we can be together... but next year... it's going to be at our house -- one way or another!!!!

I see the family resemblance with the Dog! LOL. Not sure if it is the "mustash" or the eyes. :o)
