Christmas Day

A snowy Christmas morning was the perfect backdrop for our family time. We started the morning with Carolyn's homemade cinnamon rolls and a special breakfast. On to the stockings and presents! Later that day JD and Carla's crew headed to Carla's Dad's home and the Kruse's and us had an early dinner. It was the merriest of times!

Ever the Joe Paterno fan!

The Tradition Continues . . . . .

We gathered with the Henley's for Christmas Eve. We played games, ate and Santa Claus came to visit.

The day started with nice temps and sun. . .
