Family Holiday Time

Our Portland "crew" was up Friday for an overnighter and then on they way Sat. north to more family .  Then back here Christmas after noon for a gift exchange and some more shared family time with us.  Here M is sitting in her chair here with her Christmas card and Z is about to munch a gingerbread cookie he decorated.  Another one show Z examining a snowglobe and about to see if it plays music too.  The family was then gathered for Pappy's homemade potato soup and a pear-gongazola salad with homemade pita chips and dip!!! All were delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon and evening!
