~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When our first grandchild was quite small, I purchased a "Happy Birthday, Jesus" cake to help her understand the reason for the season. It became a tradition to have this dessert each Christmas when Johnny and I host a pre-Christmas meal. This was our cake for this year. You'll notice the Blue trim all around the side.
Here's a shot of the family on Christmas Day, around the new 10 ft. x 4 ft. custom table my DIL bought. We had yummy lasagne (which is at the far end of the table).
Finally, some Blue. Lauren, our first-born grandchild, models the coat that Johnny and I gave her. We purchased the Blue scarf too. It matches nicely, don't you think?
One of our oldest traditions is breakfast at Waffle House. It was our son's idea many years ago. In the parking lot, the baby got a bit fussy, so I took him for a ride on my scooter. I can't resist sharing a picture of our awe struck great grandson. If you look closely, you can see that he's turning the speed control knob. Perhaps that's why I wasn't smiling!
Happy Blue Monday!

You have a large family round your Christmas table. And love the cheeky expression of your grandson as he 'manipulates' your scooter.
A big Christmas celebration.

Sally, we have several traditions here, our stockings being the main one. Others are tweaked as needed to fit the situation of the year. How nice that your large family gathers around a table together. I'd love a 10' table, but our dining room couldn't hold it.
Enjoy the last week of December. Happy New Year!
Wow the family pic must have had some doing (it looks like taken with a phone?) Can see you enjoyed Christmas together - that is a blessing!Now up to the New Year:)
happy blue monday.
Sally, what a wonderful family gathering. Thanks for sharing.
excellent.
Oh what a beautiful family! We went to IHop on Christmas Day.
Was going to cook but the Cowboy was sick. Went and got my mom and then went to eat. And to the barn! I'm loving he's more interested now! We're trying to train him right! LOL.
Thanks for the linky! Hope you have a wonderful party.
Happy New Year!
Have a happy, bountiful and peaceful New Year, Sally.
Thank you for your parties. Sorry, I am hibernating so long. I suppose to join you this last party but came late.
See you next year.

Hi Sally,
I was wondering if you'd join me in a new feature
called America The Beautiful/Hometown tour feature.
I want to begin it in February. I'd love posts written about where bloggers live.
Would you join me and write a post about your hometown?
I'll be announcing the feature on New Years Day with a button.
I'd like to include the list of planned features. It'll be ongoing
up to February. Then when you post I'll feature your post on my blog.
I'd love you to join the party!
Enjoyed your writing, expecting some further great works!
