Herr Christmas

My dad's family gets together every year for Christmas. Here are some photos of that great evening!

This is my Uncle Bob, Aunt Judy, Daniel (red shirt) and Mark. My aunt and uncle are getting ready to head to Narobi, Africa with MCC! Please keep them in your prayers as they adjust to Africa and have to set up a new office and home!


This of course is Uncle Ryan! He taught the kids such fun things when he was home like how to sneak cookies...


This is Riley with my cousin Rob's little girl Mary Kate. The two girls love to play together and it is nice they have one another at these large gatherings. This year when it was time for us to leave Riley stated to Mary Kate, "I don't know why my mom is making me leave, because we are having such fun."

This is one of the highlights of the holidays! I have such fond memories of playing w/ cousins and cookie days and our annual Philly shopping trip to John Wannamakers (which I wish was still around), so this is always a fun way to catch up with everyone!
