Christmas with Family

This was taken at Julie & John's house on Thanksgiving Day. We are invited to also enjoy Christmas at their house. Their house is a center of attraction with Sadie being a part of it. We have enjoyed Christmas at Carolyn & Ben's for the past few years but it's nice to move on to the next generation. We haven't had it at our house for several years which Elaine appreciates. Some of our most enjoyable Christmases were when our kids were small and we would get together with my family for one meal and Elaine's family for the other. There would be about 20 people at each house and a good time was had by all. We continued to keep up this tradition during several of our first years back in D.C. but a couple trips on snow covered roads tempered our plans. We have continued to enjoy the real reason for Christmas but the excitement of having four little kids comparing presents with cousins is special. Sadie will help  us have some of the same pleasures of those earlier times.
