For Christmas Day my Mom and I visit my brother and his family, David, Samantha, & Charles Harijot.  After we have Christmas in the morning with them, we travel to Ohio to see my Mom’s side of the family:  My grandmother Anna Lee Henson, & my Mom’s five sisters & one brother.  One sister wasn’t there, but the rest of the family was at my Aunt Donna’s and Uncle Ray’s house.  We had quite a houseful because besides all those mentioned above some of their children and grandchildren are there as well.  Below are a few pictures from this wonderful time:

 

    

This is at my brother’s house near Knoxville.  In the background is Samantha, my Mom, and Charles Harijot.  This was the big train set for Charles Harijot from all my Dad’s side of the family.

This was my gift to Charles Harijot:  big plush doggie.  I think he liked it!  My brother is in the background.

 

Charles Harijot was able to really enjoy opening gifts this year!

My Mom and her family are awesome at cooking!!  This is the main course table.

 

This is one of the dessert tables (there was another candy table).  You can see the cookies in the plastic bin.  Part of the cookies are my Mom’s famous Chocolate Chip Cookies.  They’re so good, they’re practically a food group!
