One word describes this week — Christmas! The main event was Christmas Eve dinner. Mark and family came on Christmas Eve Eve (the 23rd). They were flying back from a vacation in Mexico and stopped for a couple of days. Ryn drove down from NY and stayed overnight. Ed and Lynne drove down for dinner. I picked up Mom so she could join the dinner and festivities. Danita prepared some of her signature dishes. There was much more food than we could eat.

On Christmas morning Ryn and JaMMM had a gift opening, primarily for the kids. We had a great time doing family things and opening presents. A new family member joined the photo-bug club. Here is the very first picture Mira took with her brand new camera. (Maia was off doing something much more important.) Then it was time for everyone to go home.,

I hope all had a great Christmas.
