My daughter called me and asked if I could stay with the kids for a few nights. No problem. I packed a bag and after work I hopped on the LIRR to her home. My daughter and her husband wanted to get away for a night so off they went to Atlantic City. These kids got so many toys for Christmas, I just got a kick that they wanted to play with boxes all day long.
New Years’ Eve the older children went with their parents to a neighborhood party leaving me and Caleb to ring in the New Year together. For the special event we shared a tiramisu just the two of us.
A tradition for New Years’ Day is celebrating the day with Merci and her family. My daughter and her husband Bill host this special day.
My mom, niece and my sister were the first to arrive.
Love these ladies, my daughter Vera, niece Sandra, Mercis’ daughter Erica and her niece Dana and her darling daughter Emma being held my by granddaughter Natalie. Sweethearts!!
Nothing fills a home like children. The big kid is Andrew, Mercis’ nephew. I am including my niece Sandra and her guy Robby in the children section too. Love them all. I am ashamed that the only photo I got of Merci husband Bill is the back of his head. Sorry Billy.
And nothing fills a mostly hung over crowd like some chow. Dig In!!
We are blessed to have our parents still today. My mom Tessie in the middle 🙂 with Mercis’ parents Andy and Nina.
and our sisters Marlene and Marianne.
Then we had some laughs playing the game Cards Against Humanity. Warning: it is a little frisky, risky for 18 years of age and older.
This New Year we wish that God showers you with His choicest Blessings, Fate never takes you for a bumpy ride, Cupid strikes you with his sweetest arrow, Lady Luck bestows upon you health and wealth, your Guardian Angel keeps your mind alert and bright. Happy New Year 2016!!
