I spent this past week-end celebrating with family during our annual

Christmas/ Gift Exchange party on Friday.

I love my Big, Crazy family.

My niece’s husband took this picture.  (you’ve heard the expression like herding cats?)

Then on Sunday, celebrating my birthday with my little birthday Buddy who just turned one.

This is him after destroying his birthday cake.

Even though he offered me a bite, I declined.

It’s wonderful to be able to spend time with family over the Holidays.

I’m so excited that my kids will all be home on Christmas Day.
