Christmas 2013

Ho ho ho!  It's already Christmas 2013.  This year finds us at the Chaney's for Christmas Eve. 

The 'termites' (aka Windsor Boys) have blown through the shrimp.  You have to get there early if you want shrimp.

Michele founds these really cool lamps.  They are empty liquor bottles that have Christmas lights inside.  When they are plugged in, they look very cool.

Traditional Christmas pizza.  It was really good.

Wow!  A lovely photo of her number 1 grandson, who is already a Senior in high school!  How did that happen??

I'm not sure who Brendan thinks he's kidding....

Michele's clearly amused.  But with who?

Yay! Mark got a gift card.

For Christmas dinner, fresh ham.  That's right, kids.  I said FRESH ham.  We had oven baked potatoes and green bean casserole as well.  Delicious!

Merry Christmas!
