Beautiful family, gorgeous tree, & I love the rocking horse ornament on the tree!
Ty for sharing! 
We had a great time! It was a lot of fun with different generations mingling and talking/laughing!
Yes, he is our very tall Grandson! He absolutely outstrips everyone in height and is a sweetheart besides!
We did have a very good time.
We were lucky! We were either in the car going and coming home, or else we were indoors, when it was raining. We did not get rained on at all.
It was Apple pie with a crumb crust plus a cube of vanilla ice cream! 
It was astonishingly good!
Thanks for sharing these lovely photos CaliforniaPeggy!
I believe all American families are the same: the menfolk sit and watch football (or whatever) while the womenfolk are busy in the kitchen and dining room. It's the same here in Pennsylvania, and probably everywhere else.
Nobody was actually watching football, as far as I recall. Our hostess was busy in the kitchen and several family members were assisting her doing the cleaning up.
We all felt the companionship and love from the whole group.
Sharing is part of my DNA.
Great comments!
I'm glad you enjoyed the photos!
Glad you enjoyed them too.
I had fun taking them, and I'm happy you enjoyed them.
It was about as perfect as it could be.
Ah, we don't live there--it belongs to a family member. She loves having us over for holiday feasts. She is very hospitable!
I had a great time taking the photos.
Glad you enjoyed them!
And a Happy New Year to you!
It's always fun being there.
We are lucky too--we all like each other, we agree politically and everybody is super smart about interesting topics! Our bonds are strong.
Unfortunately, they live >70 miles away, so we don't get up there often. And the weather was bad this year, though my husband and I were lucky not to get caught in the storm, either going or coming home!
I'm not really sure how tall our grandson is. He's well over 6 feet--Maybe 6'3" or 6'4" Dunno!
Looks like it was a wonderful day. I'm so glad for you. Thank you so much for sharing your holiday with us!
It was indeed a wonderful day! Several generations mingling, eating, talking, laughing and so on!
It's always my pleasure to share.
We are so lucky with our family! Everyone is way cool!
For sure, kind of rainy. We lucked out; the car got rained on, but it wasn't raining when we arrived or when we left.
How cool that you were nearby! And now you're home.
Of course you're included! The group was very welcoming and after our long drive (>70 miles!) we were happy.
Totally gray skies! Intermittent rain. But the breakers were gorgeous, being driven by the wind.
We had a lovely time!
Thanks for participating!
And you're right! I love getting the photos that show something different, some new angle.
One of my favorites, yummy!
Beautiful family. 
Our hostess always has the best meals. We enjoyed ourselves quite a lot!
Glad you enjoyed the photos, and thanks for your lovely comments, my dear MorbidButterflyTat!
That photo is a group photo that I took of my husband and our 3 grandchildren. I think one of the kids was holding up his iPhone and reading it. Not photographing me!
The white-haired lady a few posts down from there is our hostess. She's usually moving around so it's hard to get a good portrait of her! I don't look anything like her!
