I am so fortunate to have family that is willing to visit me on a regular basis. Our parents get along well with each other, and my brothers treat Stephen as a long-lost sibling.

We partook in eggnog...

...delicious stuffing, turkey, and a wide variety of homemade desserts cooked by my sister-in-law, Megan.

Of course, Ruthie looked absolutely charming, laughing at danger while she stood on a rocking chair.

We opened presents...

...enjoyed each others' company...

...and snapped a quick family photo before the light disappeared beyond the horizon.

A Merry Christmas to you all.
