Belated Christmas Celebration

     After New Jersey, we spent the weekend in upstate New York at my stepfather, Dan's house (actually, it's a log cabin).  We typically spend the weekend before New Year's there and celebrate Christmas late with Dan's sister, brother and their spouses.  Dan's sister and brother-in-law have moved to Atlanta to be closer to their son and his family, so this year it was just my Aunt Joan and Uncle Louie who came to our "party" today.  Here are some snapshots of our little get-together:

My sister yelling at me not to take her picture while she got ready

     Hope you had a wonderful holiday season.  May your life be filled with love and light.
