After Christmas Party at Gram's

A few days after Christmas, Dane and I packed our bags and headed to Bellaire, Ohio. I always love spending time with my Gram. She's so very very loving and full of goodness. She's always been an inspiration to me. When it comes to marriage, she was my example. She and my late grandfather had a love like no other. My nephew Aidan spent one night with us. We had so much fun!
Isn't she lovely?!
Aidan!
Aidan and Dane co-existing.

We visited Aunt Patty too! She got a kick out of Dane walking.

Her cat was a watch guard. He made sure Patty didn't give Dane too many kisses.

Christmas Evening at GaGa's

Ok, almost done with the Christmas posts... We went to Brad's parents on Christmas night for dinner. We had a great time and received lots of presents. It was important for Brad to spend the holidays with his family this year. Next year will be my choice. :)
I need to figure out how to use the "No red eye" feature on my camera.
LOVE this photo of Dane and uncle Brian.

Christmas Morning

We got Dane one gift. ONE. We figured he'd get so much from everyone else that it would be overwhelming. Besides we're on a budget, plus in future years, I'm sure he'll be asking Santa to bring him some expensive electronic item. We were right, he got plenty of gifts from his relatives. He was a happy boy. Here is Dane on Christmas morning enjoying his ONE gift from Mommy and DaDa.



Need I say more? :)

Christmas Eve at Jenny's

On Christmas Eve, we went to Jenny's house, Brad's sister. We had a wonderful time. Dane loved spending time with his cousins. There was plenty of great food, wine, and happy times. Thanks Jenny!
I think Colin is showing Brad something interesting.
Dane loves his garden!
GaGa really wanted this photo, I think I'm going to frame it for her. (Even though she and William are the only ones looking at my camera. :)
Colin helping Dane, so sweet.
Bobby, being Bobby.
It appears that Dane is touching the chandelier, but he's actually going for the mistletoe.
