And whatever those cakey petit-fours are, I would eat those.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. Thanks so much, my dear 2naSalit!

They are wonderful family, all Democrats and liberal besides! Great conversationalists too.

And the desserts were to die for!

19. A nice collection of heartwarming and interesting photos, Peggy!

That was a smart use of the mirror for the family portrait. You'd fit only a few faces in the frame in selfie mode.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. Thanks so much, my dear Mousetoescamper!

The first time I saw that mirror, I knew that would be how I'd get a group photo! It really simplifies things.

Have a great Christmas!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. Thanks so much, my dear Chin Music!

Well, the house is on the West coast, so that explains the kitchen cabinets!

It's a beautiful place. The Channel Island photo was taken from that house.

[Beartracks]

24. I'm puzzled by the fourth photo...

It looks like a very merry gathering. The pup is really into it!

============

[CaliforniaPeggy]

25. Thanks for your funny/clever comments, my dear Beartracks!

It took me a tiny moment to realize what you really saying about the fourth photo!

We were having a great time, and all the pup wanted to do right then was sleep!

[Beartracks]

32. :). But i must admit really not knowing what that puzzle is!

Perfect opportunity for a pun that I couldn't pass up but -- what is that puzzle? Is there some significance to it for holiday celebrations?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

33. Our hostess had gotten out a lot of puzzles for everyone to play with!

I'm no damn good at solving puzzles but I do enjoy photographing them. So that's what I did.

It was part of a recent Christmas Day. That's its significance.

26. Such a lovely family you have, Peggy!

And I love your pupper in his sweater!

Ty for sharing with us.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

29. Thanks so much, my dear SheltieLover!

I feel very blessed to have such an amazing family. We all get along very well.

My pleasure to share, always.

[GoneOffShore]

27. And a Merry Christmas to you and your lovely family!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

30. Thanks so much, my dear GoneOffShore! I hope the same for you and your loved ones! nt

[Diamond_Dog]

28. Merry Christmas, Peggy!

And thank you for sharing your beautiful family with us. It’s always such a joy to see all of you with your smiling faces!

Was the pupper overwhelmed from all the excitement? Looks like he needed a nap!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

31. Thanks so much, my dear Diamond_Dog!

This group photo has become a family tradition! It's a great way to celebrate our unity.

The pup was having a great time, getting all the pats and love from everyone there! Sooner or later, he did need a nap, and he got one!
