Kristy's entire family gathered for a Christmas feast and this was no easy task. In fact her brother Eric's family was actually supposed to be in Utah for the holiday however, fate had other plans. The western states just happened to receive some severe winter weather which resulted in their flights to be rescheduled until after the holiday. Although I know Jodie missed her family back in Utah, it was so great to have everyone gathered together during this most wonderful time of the year.
So our grand feast got underway with all the traditional fixins', as well as some of our nontraditional favorites.
The kids are all growing so fast. They sure enjoyed spending time together, which is in many ways why holidays are so wonderful.
Leonard was looking as well as always, he has recovered most assuredly from his heart troubles back in July of 2005 and the holidays would not be the same without him. It is a true blessing to continue to have him with us to share his wisdom and love, which he certainly has much of both.
Tove sure knows how to feed us well, and we certainly enjoy taking advantage of the opportunity.
The babies in the family are growing faster than ever. It seems like just yesterday back in the holiday season of 1999 when we all gathered for the first time. Kristy was the last of her siblings to be married and so we all gathered together and celebrated as a family. At that time we had no children, it was just a bunch of married adults. A mere seven years later and there is now 8 children among us. Now that is a real Christmas gift if you ask me.
Good food, a great holiday, all spent with the ones we love, the making of wonderful memories indeed.
