Christmas Joys

Oh, we have had so many over the past week and a half.  Lots of family time, lots of love, lots of wonderful gifts, lots and lots and lots of food!  There are so many pictures I want to share that I'll need to upload them to an online gallery.  And I'm trying to get a plug-in to work with iPhoto and have had zero luck.  I'm quite the bulldog here, and won't let it alone until I figure it out.  SO, in an effort to at least post SOMEthing here before the old year fades away, I'm sharing some of the family pictures that were taken at various celebrations.

The picture above was taken with Jmk's family.  (sounds weird to say that, because they are truly my family too.  But, for clarity's sake, I'll say Jmk's family).  We were at SueSue's house on Christmas Eve Eve.


And the following picture was taken on the Saturday after Christmas at MooMoo and GaGa's house when we had everyone in "my" family in town at one time!  Even though Poodle's eyes are closed, it's really the best picture of the bunch, because my big ole head was covering up Jmk's in all the other pics.  Besides, I love how Audrey is studying the leaf.  It's sweet.
Excuse the lack of cropping on this one.  It needs it, but I haven't had time to edit any of the pictures taken over the past couple of weeks.  Well, except for the one up top.  I had to edit that one.  Jmk knows why.  Stinker.  ;-)

I do hope everyone's Christmas was joyous and focused on the Greatest Gift.  And I pray that you all have a 2009 filled with many blessings.
