Merry Christmas.... in the US!

Our first 25th of December in the US to spend with blood relations and new friends. We had a lovely Christmas dinner at Mommom's and spent a wonderful afternoon with Aunt, Uncles, and cousins, playing games and being a family.

At Eleanor's Christmas Eve.

Playing Scrabble 'round the table at Aunt Peggy's.

Zach, Deb, and Jon (home from Colorado!) checking out a Scrabble word online.

Mother looking beautiful.

Abby and Em checking out presents....

Modeling a pair of Uncle Dave's glasses....

When we came, little AJ was a month old.... Now he is so big....

Chrissy chatting with Uncle Ricky.

Austin (home from the Marines!) and Taylor chillin' on the couch watching basketball.

Crammed in the car on the way Blue Mountain.... What an adventure.

We leave in two days. We're packing up our little home. Trying to stuff seven months into 12 suitcases and six carry-ons. ONLY SIX of us are returning! This is our life. We can do it.
