When I think of Christmas, I don't think about presents, shopping, wrapping, food, yummy sweets, decorations or snow. I think about my family. I think about our Christmas Eve Alderman Family get-together. It's what I look most forward to. It's what I missed most while we lived in California, Colorado and Florida. Somehow, we all find a way to be there. AND, we always have a great time. Sure, there's always presents, good food, yummy sweets, a beautiful tree -but it's family that brings it all home for me.
This year was even more special because of the book- put together by me - that we all received as our Family Christmas gift. It is full of funny, sweet, and extremely sentimental photos, thoughtful writing, and warm memories. I am going to try to find a way to post it on here so you can all see what I am talking about.....look for it in days to come.A few more photos from the night:
Hope you all had a wonderful holiday - made lots of memories, and took tons of photos. Why not put them to good use and start a blog of your own in the new year.......

You have such a nice family! I am so glad you all had such a wonderful holiday.
ps-I love the picture of the 4 of you in front of the tree...you look very pretty! :)
Oooo. Aly, you totally look like the lady with her head on your Mom's shoulder. Just sharing...
That's too funny Audrey - we have a joke in our family that she's my "real" Mom. It's my Aunt Teresa, my Mom's sister. And, yes, we do look a lot alike.
