Christmas Day

I have been trying to figure out how to post pictures, so here goes nothing...

Our extended family got together Christmas Day and here is the proof:


Me talking to Keith...no telling what this was about!


This is my beautiful goddaughter, Emily!
She is the sweetest, most talented little girl and I love her!

My darling husband, Juan, probably making some sarcastic remark about having his picture taken!


Crazy Ray giving his "wife" Joy a big hug! He knows momma would kick his butt if he tried anything else!



Two great girlfriends, Gail and Letanja! We were acting silly for the camera...end of the day...what more can I say???


David and Joy in the kitchen where all the action took place all day!


Some of the group...I have no idea what Letanja is doing!!!
Every Christmas we get together with our friend for our "Orphan Christmas". Since none of us have large families around we all have lunch and spend the day visiting, watching movies, playing games, etc. We are all very close and have hung out together for almost 20 years. Most of us were on the Aardvark Chili Team so we have lots of memories!

This Christmas we were at Leslie and Tom's house in Arlington. We all pitched in for the food and it was delicious!

Ray was in town from Florida and we were all so glad to see him! We call him Crazy Ray because he is a little wild and crazy. He moved to Florida a few years ago to retire and we miss him. In fact, many of us are planning a a vacation to his beach condo for a 4th of July celebration.

It was nice to have David and Joy with us for the day. They have been around this group since they were babies so nothing surprises them. All of our friends feel like surrogate parents to them so it is usually fun to sit back and watch!
It was a fun filled day with family and friends!
