Extended Family Holiday Celebration


Grandma and Grandpa Big V have decided they have gotten too old and their family has gotten too big to host Christmas Eve Dinners anymore. So instead they hosted their whole clan at a dinner at their church a few nights before Christmas.

Two of the family talents.

Chowing down.
The red sweater crew.


The newlyweds.

The newlyweds' parents: still newlyweds themselves.

Doug and Megan absent their married children. When our children get married, they'll be forbidden from spending holidays with in-laws. Ha ha.
The Bookends: Grandma and Grandpa's youngest grandchild (not counting greats), Ethan, and oldest grandchild, Nicole.
Freshly done with college.

Ashley and Rico and one of the cutest baby girls on the planet.
The big eaters.

The other big eaters.

Last Christmas we'll see this couple for another four years. So sad but also so exciting.

Jen and Aaron still live here, even though her parents have moved away. Hey, the same thing happened to us!
