What a wonderful Christmas! This year, one of my favorite parts of the holiday season is having all five of us home again. Kyle has been away for the first time at school in Canada, Carly lives and goes to school downtown and I live, work and school in Alabama: the empty refills!

We enjoyed a great family Christmas morning at home with a big fire, homemade granola on yogurt, and goat cheese and fresh herb strata (a fun new dish).

Granddad and Jo came over for a little while for a little more celebrating. It was great to see you using the walker again, Jo! Keep up the great work:)

This evening we joined my mom's side of the family at Memaw and Pawpaw's for a BIG dinner and more fellowship. Can't believe how large that side of the family is getting; three weren't able to be there tonight, but I believe we currently have 16 great grandchildren on the Harbin side!

Much love and merry Christmas to you all!
