Over the river and through the woods...

...to Grandmother's house we go!
This year we spent Christmas at Marilyn's where it was family, food and presents!
You won't find any complaints here.
Jean had gotten a new puppy the night before, so you'll see a theme as you look through the pictures "Ashley and Daisy". Midget couldn't get enough of that little white ball of fur. Her love for Daisy borderlined on obsession. But in a cute, 4 year old way. Not a creepy Lenny from Of Mice and Men, way.
We had such a lovely dinner with plenty of desserts and sweets to satisfy any sweet-tooth. It was nice getting the opportunity to just hang out and spend Christmas together, without stress or hustle or bustle. Or at least I didn't have any stress since I didn't host. I'm not sure the same can be said all across the board. :)
We hadn't been to Marilyn's for Christmas since Ashley was 5 days old, so walking in with Ash and Natty for Christmas dinner was a bit different than it was back in 2007. I'm thinking I was a bit more relaxed and not quite as sleep-deprived this time around.
Thanks for a wonderful Christmas, Marilyn!
