A Very Merry Christma-Hanukkah!

The month of December was very busy: 2 Christmases, a Hanukkah and a birthday. Because Keith and Danny were going to Ohio to celebrate the holidays, we had an early Christmas with them.
Sarah and Emma had to leave early to go to their dad's, so they opened the presents from us before they left.

Grandma, Ben and Danny


We sat down for lunch before opening our presents. My nephews Trevor, Chad and Jake below.

Michele, Jeremy, Jennifer and the back of Danny's head.

Danny and me with the kids in the background.

Jake with his new Snuggie. He especially liked the book light.

We had a wonderful time and received many presents.
A few days later, we celebrated Bill's 40th birthday at J & H. He was born on Christmas day!
(Jeff, Bill and Ben)

Bill and Kelly's daughter, Madison, picked out a new Betta for me.
She helps to take care of him when we go away.
I named him Black Jack, but he often goes by "Taco".
Madison got her own Betta fish. He, too, goes by "Taco".

Later, we had a Hanukkah dinner with Michael, Ellen, Mikey, Jeremy, Jennifer and the boys.

We celebrated Christmas at my parents' house on the 24th.


While we were there, Ben needed a pair of slippers and I found these Boston terrier ones,
but Hamlet would not leave him alone with them on. He will always be a playful puppy.

My sister and I set the table (I got to carry all the holiday plates from upstairs).


And had dinner. My dad got impatient with all the camera adjustments,
so he stopped caring about the photo and focused on the soup.


My sister gave me sock monkey slippers that I couldn't wear
because Hamlet wouldn't leave my feet alone.


Later that night, Ben and I went home and opened our presents for each other.
I got a kindle, among other things!
On Christmas day, Ben, Bula and I went to the beach.


It was beautiful!



Bula loves the beach!


So happy!

A beautiful sunset ended the day.
