[Lovie777]

2. Nice pictures. ....

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. Thanks very much, my dear Lovie777! We had fun rounding everyone up for the shot! ♥

[AndyS]

3. How wonderful. I can almost feel the warmth and affection.

How fortunate and only deserving of someone like the one and only California Peggy.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. Aw, my dear Andy...what a lovely thing to say. Thank you, darlin'...

It was a lovely day.

[Diamond_Dog]

4. Wow! What a fine looking family you have, Peggy!

Yours is similar to mine … the guys outnumber the gals. 🙂

Nicely done family portrait!

Beautiful ocean pics, too! Such dramatic skies.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. Ah, you're too kind, my dear Diamond_Dog! We're holding up pretty well these days.

The kids are running circles around everyone! The rest of us wonder just where did our agility go???

The mirror makes an excellent place for a group portrait. I discovered this a couple of years ago, and now it's a family tradition.

The sea and sky were great-looking too!

It was a wonderful day.

50. The mirror makes an excellent place for a group portrait

Was wondering about all the chairs, never dawned on me a mirror was involved,
need more coffee, have a wonderful new year.

[MLAA]

7. Beautiful shots of a beautiful family!

My favorite is the woman, young man and doggie. However the shot looking into the mirror of the whole gang is also a winner!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. Thanks a million, my dear MLAA!

Yeah, I rather like that photo too! The young woman is my younger daughter and the young man is her middle child and second son! He is now 6'1" and at 14 years old to boot! He's already taller than his father!

[elleng]

8. Great to 'meet' everyone, Peg!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. Thanks so much, my dear elleng! We had such a good day. ♥

[Heartstrings]

13. Beautiful family! And photos!

Thank you for sharing!

Here’s our family on Christmas Eve….



My daughter, on the left, had had a couple glasses of wine….can you tell?

Didn’t get pics from yesterday…..

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. Thank you so much, my dear Heartstrings! Your photo is fantastic!

Yeah, I kinda did think something like wine was going on with your daughter!

All your outfits look great and colorful!

Christmas Eve photos are every bit as good as Christmas Day ones! I expect you were busy...

Thank you so much for sharing!

[StarryNite]

42. Another beautiful family.

I love the Christmas sweaters.

[Heartstrings]

54. Thank you, StarryNite! nt

[FakeNoose]

14. Oh how nice! You have a lovely family

And how lucky that you could all get together for the Christmas Holidays.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. Thank you so much, my dear FakeNoose!

The really cool thing about us? We're Democrats and we've all had our vaccines and boosters! Everyone here believes in science.

We're quite fortunate that we can usually all get together on the major holidays. Nobody has a super long drive so that makes it possible.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. My dear Solly Mack! Thank you so much. ♥

[niyad]

22. A beautiful family, and thank you for sharing them with us.

Have to say, that last pic looks like you captured a monster emerging. Great shot!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

29. Thanks so much, my dear niyad! We had a great day.

You know, I didn't see it till you mentioned it. But it DOES look like a monster emerging!

Good thing it's just a cloud!

[panader0]

28. Wisdom and promise. Great family Peggy!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

30. Thanks for coming by, my dear panader0!

What a lovely way to see my family...

I appreciate your wisdom too.

[planetc]

31. Everyone has a nice smile, even the teenagers.

Teenagers and men smiling! How did you do that?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

33. You know, you're right, my dear planetc! We're all nice people, and we were happy, that's how! ♥

[CaliforniaPeggy]

45. Thanks so much, my dear Trueblue Texan! I appreciate your beautiful thought. ♥

[calimary]

38. That last one has an eye in it!

A strange cloud creature!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

46. It truly does, my dear calimary! Very strange and oddly beautiful. ♥

[Tommymac]

39. What a good looking family!

The big guy in the back who is follically challenged could be my twin. I'm German/Scotch/Irish...any of those apply?

:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

47. Thanks so much, my dear Tommymac! I'm not sure of his ancestry, but you could be right! ♥

[hollygolively]

40. You made me smile!

What a great family.

I wish the best to you and yours in the new year!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

48. So glad I could make you smile, my dear hollygolively!

They are all great people.

Thanks for the wonderful new year wishes, and I wish you and your family the very same!

[StarryNite]

41. Beautiful family.

Wonderful photos. Why do boys/young men never seem to be affected by the cold?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

49. Thanks for your lovely remarks, my dear StarryNite!

The boys and young men probably have more active metabolisms and that most likely keeps them warm.

[Ziggysmom]

51. You have a lovely family. Do any of them also have photographic or artistic talents like you?

Hope you enjoyed Christmas and will have a very happy New Year. Thank you for all the lovely photos you post on DU.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

56. Thanks so much, my dear Ziggysmom!

Actually, this group isn't particularly artistic, as far as I know. I got my inspiration from my mom and passed it on to my older daughter, who isn't present in this group.

We had a lovely day and also hope for a very happy new year! You can bet that my photo threads will continue!

[Fla Dem]

52. What a wonderful family. How lucky you are to have them all with you for the holiday!

Beautiful scenery too!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

57. Thank so much for your lovely comments, my dear Fla Dem! We are lucky to live close to our family. ♥
