Christmas 2009

This year the entire family flew or drove into San Diego, CA for Chirstmas. I believe there were 32 people. Many family members had not even met my children. It was a great chance to get caught up with one another.

I would like to hope it would not be another 5 years that go by without seeing one another!! What an amazing Christmas!!
