Got my replacement card reader today and thought I would share a few photos from the family Christmas in Birmingham. Some of this offers proof we share the same DNA. Entered into evidence, these photos of my great-niece A licking the bowl after her auntie SB finishes whipping up something chocolatey.
She is DEFINITELY related to me.
Thirty-plus years ago, a little blonde-haired toddler absolutely adored her youngest aunt’s boyfriend. She couldn’t quite manage to pronounce his name, so she called him “Ben-jie.” And now that little blonde is all grown up and her little girl also adores that tall man with the sweet smile. Maybe one day, that dark-haired little girl’s child will feel the very same–although I am not sure “Ben-jie” will still be able to lift the little one to touch the ceiling .
Our lovely sixteen-year-old H seems very pleased with those Amazon and Target giftcards.
We are all just a bunch of hams.
Hope you all had wonderful Christmases with those near and dear to you.

Lovely, lovely photos, Angie. What great girls, and lucky to have you and Benny in their lives.
I have only met two people who are impervious to the allure of chocolate. I confess to licking the beaters when I’ve made fudge frosting.
Thanks. They are pretty special to us. I am grateful to have them as part of our lives, too. 😀 It’s almost as hard for me to imagine someone not liking chocolate as it is for them to not like RA 😉 Oh, I have licked a beater or two in my time. 😉
It was a lovely time, wasn’t it, Sis? Great pics!
It was great family time, wasn’t it, Sis. Love the pics!
It was indeed.:D
It really was, just went by too quickly. I have more pics, I will get them to you and D.
