Merry Merry

On Christmas Eve we drove into Baltimore to my Mom's to

eat food, exchange a few gifts and catch up with family.

This is Ali who is my cousin Michele's daughter.  

Ali is in her second year of nursing school.

She also loves Julep and Julep loves her. 

 Ali, Julep, Bradley and Robert.

Bradley is in law school in NC and is Robert's girlfriend.

Robert works for Traveler's and is considering going

to law school at some point.  This is the second year Bradley

has joined us for Christmas Eve.  She is a lovely

young lady and I hope they get married some day.

 Ali and a few of her girlfriends are driving to Florida.

Apparently, they have done this many times before.

 Cousin Michele and Julep

Michele has three children, Ali, Robert & Jordon

Jordon had to work again this year & he was missed.

 Michele has Julep's bag of treats.

 My Mom ... Dot

 Me, Julep and Mom

 I love the way Derby is sitting on the steps.

 Nephew Billy and Mom.

She is opening up one of her gifts from my sister.

 Billy, Mom and sister Debby.

Billy decided to buy a new SUV for Christmas.

 While I ordered the Swarovski star for this year 

Wilson ordered me the angel.  It was under the

tree this morning.

 Wilson also ordered 2 boxes of croissants from 

William Sonoma.  I woke up to the smell of them

baking in the oven this morning.  These are worth 

every cent and every calorie.

 This morning while drinking coffee and eating croissants

straight from the oven Wilson put on the TV and came

across the Mask with Jim Carey.  The dogs loved

the action and sat and watched it for the longest time.

 Derby ... our special little boy.

From our house to yours we send you wishes

for a merry Christmas.
