Christmas 2012

This year, it seemed like we were a little bit more organized, and Christmas wasn't as hectic as last year. Of course, we had just moved into our new house in September last year - so I'm sure that had something to do with it.

We had four big Christmas events for 2012. The first was Sunday evening at Mary's, where the kids opened some gifts, and we had roast, rice and gravy. The second was Monday at my folks, where the kids opened more gifts, had the Santa Treasure Hunt, and we had filet mignon with all the trimmings. The third - and really the 'true' Christmas event was Christmas day. In the morning the kids opened even more gifts (some from Santa!), and in the evening we entertained the grandparents and had chicken and sausage gumbo. The fourth and final Christmas event took place Thursday the 27th, when we had the extended Berryman family Christmas party at the Huntwick Club. ....unfortunately, I didn't take any pics that evening...though I know Richard did - and may post some of his later.

Anyway - on with the show!

Our tree is decorated, and the presents are wrapped!

We took this picture about a week before Christmas, and it came out great!

Before we left, we lit the 'Huntwick Luminaries'.
This tradition dates back to the beginning of the neighborhood, and it's something I remember doing every year as a kid.
