And we ALL came home for Christmas this year.  We celebrated our family Christmas together at my parents home on Saturday, December 18th and were blessed that our entire family (28) could be there.  And for the first time in many, many years all of our stockings hung on the mantle. With a family this size having this many together is quite a treasure. Mom and Dad were so happy to be surrounded by their family and we are so thankful for another year to share it with them.

This year we had a special visiter.Santa himself added to the memories of our a special day.  The last thing we did...as we always do...was take down our stockings and find the treasures they hold too.
