Chad was on call the week of Christmas this year. For the first time we had my family Christmas gathering here at our house instead of at my parents' home. Everyone arrived on Christmas, Sunday afternoon/evening and stayed through Tuesday afternoon. Abby's birthday is on the 27th, so we had a birthday party here while everyone was together. It was lots of fun to be together and have everyone here. We mainly hung out at our house; enjoyed each other's company, played with the kids, Andrew & Carson enjoyed all the fellow Wii competitors they had, and shared several meals together. I now have a renewed appreciation for my Mom and Mother-in-law. All the hard work they put in to having their homes ready for family gatherings like this and all the cooking they do while we are together. Thanks for all you do!!! It does not go unnoticed or unappreciated - never has.

Alex was so tuckered out at the end of the day.
He fell asleep in Grandma's arms.
