Family Christmas Celebration (My Dad's Side)

Despite the threat of terrible weather, my dad's side of the family was able to get together for our big family Christmas today. We had so much fun visiting with everyone, eating incredible food, playing games, and hanging out. Ethan had a blast running around with his cousins and especially loved Nathan and Cameron's Thomas the Train set. He spent several hours guiding the trains along the tracks, over bridges, and through tunnels. Dan and I really enjoyed playing Tripoley with our family. The time always goes by entirely too fast; We wish that we could all get together like this more often. Thanks so much for hosting everyone John and Cindy- we really appreciate all that you do!
