It's the most wonderful time of the year!

It's Christmas! We got to Iowa on a Saturday and right away had the McGarvey Christmas (Randy's mom's family Christmas.) It's always a treat to be there for it. But this is a picture of the next day at Randy's family Christmas. Every year we eat first, then read the Christmas story. Randy has read it many years and did again this year. At his feet are many of Margaret's grandkids and great grandkids.

After the Christmas story it's time for individual family pictures. This was the best of the bunch for us. (L-R) Sophia, Kara, Timmy on Randy's lap, Max on Randy's shoulders, Randy, Randy holding Luke, Henry cheering someone on and Alex making a face at someone.

I'm not even going to try to name everyone but this is Margaret with her grandchildren and great grandchildren that are 13 and younger.

Finally time for presents! Henry opening something in front of a sea of presents, some open, some not yet.
