Merry Christmas 2011

Post by David »

The Christmas celebration was held at Mom and Dads this year and was well attended. Chris and Ada, Jon and Carrie, David, Jason and Ann, and Mike and Hanna. Little ones of all ages made it a great Christmas morning, Jordan, Andy, Michaela, Deirdre, Steven, Amanda, and the littlest little one Mathilda (full on 6-weeks).

Great thanks to Mom and Dad for having us all.

here are a few pictures

One more picture! This puzzle is keeping us busy, one piece at a time, several pieces a day! If you want a copy ask Mike - he put the pictures together from the web site pictures and then had the puzzle made. Might also make a great screen saver!
