Christmas with the family

For the first time since we married, we stayed home for Christmas! No triple Christmas flights or octuple Christmas road trips this year - instead all the Christmasing came to us. 13 people and 5 dogs (each from a different house) for a total of 18 stalkings.

All the stocking named and ready to hang by the fire with care

Christmas eve dinner!

Clockwise: Joy-Mom, Cousin Minmin, Avunculus Joel, Brother Tim, Sister Krista, Brother Daniel, Sister Amanda, Ariel, Tim, Alice-Mom, Rich-Dad, Grandpa Ed (Dawn-Mom flew in late)
