Christmas 2007 at Home... With ALL the kids and their "Significants"...

All four of our kids joined us for a couple days, along with long-time friends, Ray and Cid from Michigan. And... all the spouses were there... and Luke's "very good friend". And yes, all all twelve of us lived in our little house for the family days of Christmas.
