12.24.11 My Mom hosted Christmas Eve at her house for the entire clan and it's the first time in more than 6 years.....since my Dad's passing. We were all so excited to be at Mom's to see her remodel and enjoy each other's company...just like old times. All of my sisters and their spouses were there with the kids, and my Uncle Howard and my Mom's friend Al joined us as well. It was great food (good job on the ham Mom) and very thoughtful gifts to each other. I just love to be with all the family - we just don't do it enough with everyone's schedules. W were able to visit with Jeff's Mom Joy in Lynnwood before heading to the cemetery to say hi to Dad. I miss you and love you Dad so much.
