Some photos from our Christmas Day in Oxnard, CA with our families . . .

36. The phrase, "And a good time was had by all," comes to mind.

My husband and I spent the day at our younger son's wife's parents' home about 45 minutes from where we live. This has been the routine for the last 5 years, both for Thanksgiving and Christmas, ever since our son and their daughter became a serious couple. They got married in 2022.

We are very fortunate in that all members of both families really like each other - that doesn't always happen. Our DILs mom is a nurse, as am I, so we can always find something to talk about, Her dad is a retired fire chief with interesting stories to tell.. Her brother and SIL live right across the street, and have 2 little boys, the older of whom will soon be 3 and quite likes our son, his "Uncle Tay-tay" - Taylor.

For Thanksgiving, it is just the immediate family of the 8 adults and 2 little kids. On Christmas morning, there's a family breakfast at 10 AM, and then starting about 11, it's an open house with friends and neighbors dropping by for about 5 hours. Everyone who has known our DIL since she was a little girl totally adores our son and I can always count on hearing lots of very complimentary things about him.

Our son is about 6'2", and his adorable little wife is only 5'4". How tall is your grandson?
