Christmas Celebrations

This year has been a bit of a whirlwind of holiday festivities - still being enjoyed as I type this :-) But since there is an on-coming snow storm and I'm not sure what travel plans will be, I thought I would post these pics before I get caught in shoveling and don't get them up until next week!

Matt putting his bar skills to good use! 

Christmas table setting - complete with jingle bell napkin rings!

the stockings were hung by the fire with care....

fresh gluten-free cornbread to go with fish-stew

girls night on Friday!

ran into an old friend - awesome time!

Saturday with friends who traveled home for the holidays

oh the cuteness!

the festivities

the aftermath - or carnage - however you see it! LOL

I hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful and safe holiday season - this New Year looks like it will be starting with more SNOW and a family gathering for another birthday this coming weekend! I know that I'm partial to birthdays at this time of year - but they are so much fun to celebrate with family and friends home for the holidays :-)
