Merry Christmas (Again) and Happy New Year!

We just got back last night from our final gathering of the holiday season. This one was a combination retirement/Christmas/New Year's celebration. On Friday, we had dad's retirement lunch. That night we opened gifts. On New Year's Eve we had a smorgasbord of treats and watched a couple of movies before banging pots & pans to ring in the new year at midnight. The kids stayed up for the first movie, but they aren't quite ready to make it all the way.

Thanks to everyone for a wonderful Christmas as always!
