A Wonderful Family Christmas

Twenty-four people filled the house Christmas morning/afternoon for opening gifts, then dinner later in the day. The living room area that felt large when we moved in 27 years ago, doesn't when all the family from Boise and Kennewick is here. Family togetherness - nice that we get along with one another.














By Sunday afternoon, all the out-of-towners were on their way home and thankfully made it safely home through the big snowstorm in the Blue Mountains.

We've been enjoying all the football games while getting some of the household chores done that went undone while family was here. Today is chilly and windy and I'm so glad I have nowhere to go, just loads of laundry to process and whatever else I feel like doing.

I hope your Christmas was merry and the New Year looks bright!

What a wonderful day! I miss the days of big family holidays. There were only 5 of us this year. Looks like everyone had a good time and I'm sure some memories were made!! Happy New Year to you and yours! Laura
