Just a few images of our little family Christmas...I hope
your holiday was also sweet. Wow. It's 2009. The days seem to
fly right by don't they? I noticed that the stores have already
begun their push towards Valentine's Day! Oh my...well, as we take
the last of our decorations down and say goodbye to the year that was, I
send each of you love and happy wishes from all of us at Rabbit Run Cottage.
Love and Hugs,
Susie Q

Wow! Your Christmas looked fabulous. Loved everyone in their paper hats. :) Lots of love and best wishes for a happy, helathy and prosperous New Year, sweet Bunny Lady! xxoo
Looks like you all had a great time!! Where is a picture of you in your crown? Is the queen photo shy? Or does the queen just control the camera? Enjoy the weekend. Sally
I'm taking a break from putting up my Christmas stuff and sat down to enjoy some blogs. Ya'll look like you had a VERY nice Christmas. Everyone's looked very happy with the whole she-bang! Happy New Year!
I love all your pictures, Sue, and Dan is darling whether he wears his hat or not. :) Grace is getting prettier each time i see her picture, and I luuurrrve the good eggs wearing their crowns as they ought.
Blessings in 2009.
This looks like the perfect Christmas! I loved the paper hats and I think it is totally cool that Grace made everyone ornaments. What a gal.
Hi Sue
I loved seeing your Christmas festivities! Happy 2009 to you and your family --I hope the new year brings all of you many joys and blessings.
I look forward to another year of friendship with you!
Thanks for all the nice comments about our new grandson -- we are still on cloud nine over him. I hope to see him again in the spring.
Hugs, Pat
Looks like a great time was had by all.
What a great way to spend Christmas. Oh the memories you are making. I loved the paper crowns. I'll have to check out the English crackers deal. May have to "steal" that idea for my own Christmas tradition. Have a great weekend.
Great post and wonderful photo's!!
Thanks for sharing.
Happy New Year!!
It looks like you all had a wonderful Christmas! Those clay ornamenets Grace made are gorgeous! We also have the Christmas crackers if only to wear those crowns :)
Happy New Year to you and your family!
Love, Kate
P.S. The gingerbread house + Elmer's glue = fabulous and so inventive!
I LOVED seeing the pictures of your Christmas gathering. May you have a wonderful new year and may all your casseroles turn out right!
Blessings,
Cheryl
What a wonderful Christmas and loving family! I loved all of your pictures Sue. It was fun to see the crackers on your place settings. I took some to my nieces one year for Christmas and have a picture somewhere wearing my paper crown! They're always fun.
The American Girl Doll looks wonderful...layered hair and pierced ears...so stylish!!! Grace looks thrilled!
and you included canines and felines!!
Loved all of the pictures! It looks like you all had a beautiful Christmas.
Oh Susie Q..I so enjoyed looking at your Christmas pictures...thanks for sharing them!!
Boo is cute and your kids of course are always handsome!!
Happy New Year!

What a beautiful family you have. I love the picture of your mom with the crown. It was just waaaaay too cute!
Looks like a fabulous Christmas!!!! I've never used a snapper, but now I'm thinking next year we may need start a new tradition....J would LOVE those!
BTW, I think your son's cut turned out nice?! But I've been begging J to go back to a short cut for months now. Must be the military spouse in me *wink*
Hi Sue...really enjoyed the fam pictures but especially Grace with the letter to Santa and the cookies...yo should enlarge that and frame it...Stop by the blog, I'm having a giveaway (nothing great) but there are the new pictures of Miss Sophie's 2009 calendar...she's going for the Oscar!! Brian Dennehy step aside for a real star....
Great pics! What a beautiful family Sue. You are truly a blessed woman. Looks like lots of fun. By the way, why didn't we get to see you with your crown on. ;)
Were the end results of the gingerbread house good ones? Hee hee. That's too cool, elmsers glue.
Hope your weekend is grand. Hugs to sweet lady!
Loved your pictures. The one of your mom with the crown is awesome. Sounds like you had a great time with your family. I too am curious about no picture of you with your crown. Happy New Year!
These are fabulous! Thanks for letting us visit Christmas with your family! I think King Bill has a bit of Brian in his smile! And which is the orange and white kitty? He's so much like my late Stimpy, I had both a smile and a bit of lump when I saw the photo.
Just lovely, Sue. I'm so glad you had a beautiful holiday!
Hi there. Found you via Brittany's blog.
As I was reading I came across the gingerbread house building and when I saw the glue I giggled, my DH thought that was a good idea when we had trouble getting ours to stay together. Glad to see he wasn't alone in that thought, LOL.
I enjoyed your photos Sue!
I spied a Justice holiday sweatshirt :)
