MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE CELEBRATION WITH LOVED ONES

 I always spend Christmas eve with my "adopted" family. They are wonderful and always include me.  Their love and caring got me through many difficult times.  They gladly include Randy. There is always wonderful snacks and goodies to enjoy before dinner.

                                                

                                    

This is 10 year-old Bella.  She is a character.

And this is her brother, Brogan, who is now 13! He is also now a wee bit taller than me.

I have been Nana Rose to them all their lives.

Bella and Brogan took turns reading THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS.

This is Christina with her daughter, Bella.

We've been friends since high school! We graduated in 1970!
