The first week of December...

We celebrate yearly with my sister's family "Christmas Adam". This is typically December 23rd - the night before Christmas "Eve" (hint: Adam came before Eve). For 2008 we moved the date to early in December to reduce stress at a time of frequent activites and other parties! Emily, Eric and Caleb arrive for the festivities...

Jeff and Jean Ledford (my sister Joan's mother-in-law) find a quiet corner (ha!)

Feasting in the kitchen are Kathy, Julie, Bennett, Joan and my Dad...

but shortly Joan and I relax in the livingroom watching Eli.Trent bids farewell to the Freeman's while holding on to his nephews - Caleb's ready for bed!What a fun night! We shared many goodies from meatballs and fruit to ham and cheese and a chocolate truffle cheesecake...
