Christmas has come & gone.  The decorations are put away and the house is back to normal -  almost!  It is just too quiet however, after having a housefull of people for the holidays.  It was a lot of fun being together.  Our family Christmas party was a lot of fun this year.  We have started a new tradition of having Santa (who is he? someone we know?) visit us.  The grandkids thought it was a lot of fun and also funny!  "Grandma, I can see the elastic on his beard!"

Now we are on to new adventures that await us in 2012.  Wonder what they will be???? Just hope I am capable of enjoying all that this new year has to offer.
