December 24: Day 351

When we spend Christmas in Idaho we always go to Opa and Oma's house for Christmas Eve with my mother in law's family. This year was the first year without Opa and he was definitely missed. Oma had the house decorated just as lovely as usual and a few of the women showed up a little early to help her set up. That's when I took this serene photo. If I had waited an hour it wouldn't have been quite the same. Have you ever been around a large Dutch family get together? I'll just say that quiet and serene is pretty far from the description. Wild and crazy would be more accurate!
