For those of you who did not find Frank the cat in my last post, here he is!
Christmas was nice if not a little low-key.
On Christmas Eve I had to work until 8:00 and then we went to my older brother's house for their annual Christmas Eve party. It was extremely foggy out all day and night, so the drive took us a little longer than expected and we didn't get there until about 9:30. But it was fun!
Usually, it's the only time I see some of my nieces and nephews! It's a total food fest with the homemade Italian sausage my youngest brother makes and deep-dish Sicilian pizza my other younger brother makes. I am 100% Italian, with my mom's family coming from Northern Italy and my dad's family coming from Sicily. Both sides are represented during our feast!
On Christmas Day we went to Shauna's. They were not hosting Brad's family this year so it was just us and Brad's mom and dad.

We had fun watching the boys play with their gifts.
Sounds like a nice Christmas. Low key is how I like it.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I ever would have found the cat in that picture.
I didn’t see your other post. That’s cute about the hiding cat. We had a low key quiet Christmas. It was nice. Now comes my favorite holiday (not) New Years Eve and day. Boring and overrated.
ReplyDeleteOur Christmas was low keyed as well. I like it that way - no stress. :)
ReplyDeleteI am 1/8th Italian...lol Mostly Austrian.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a nice and peaceful holiday! Sorry you had to work so late!
Happy New Year, friend!
hugs

Your Christmas looks lovely! I'm sure the boys were thrilled to have all four Grandparents there. Yay for Chris coming to see you soon, too.
ReplyDeleteMy Christmas was low key also and I have to say, it was nice. My boys were off playing games after the wake up and see what Santa brought thing wore off. It was really nice to have dinner with them and only have to drive ten mins to get home instead of an hour and 15 mins. As for my boys, I prefer to spend time with them on a one on one basis. My boys are so close in age and they love to pick and fight. Its easier on me to do one on one. HAHA
ReplyDeleteLovely you got to spend some time with family.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your upcoming time with family!
ReplyDeleteMay 2024 be a year full of blessings for you.
