Christmas Day and the Journey Home

First of all before I tell about our Christmas Day, I would like to say Happy Birthday to Aunt Michaela! Okay, here we go.

Christmas Day was a day to enjoy peace and fellowship. At noon, we had a Christmas Dinner of smoked turkey and ham, and Red Velvet Cake to celebrate Edward's birthday.

Grandma gathered the children for "Grandma Thank You Letter Writing School" as she does every year. Some of the younger kids found the address part to be a challenge since it was not an e-mail.

Soon, it was time to head back to Michigan. Back to reality.

Julia - I so enjoy being part of your wonderful family through your blog.

Thanks.

We are going to McBain this weekend for the De YOung party.

Andrea, Kevin, Sam and I worked at the bakery two days this week. We sold over 60 banket in 6 hours each day.

See you next year!
