Merry Christmas!!
We had a wonderful time visiting Grandma Sedgwick and the rest of the family over the Christmas break. Christmas Eve was a highlight. All 35 of us gathered at Grandma's house to put Higene kits and school bags together for people in need. It's easy to recognize just how very blessed we are when we assembled the very basic necessities for others.
Here is grandma with 16 of her 24 grandkids. Another was born 4 days later! In case you can't tell which one grandma is, she's the silver haired fox in the center. Though we did the humanitarian project rather than buying gifts for each other, grandma still had something spcial for everyone. Thanks grandma!!
After we had finished up at Grandma's house, we went down the hill to Debbie's where we enjoyed and awesome Mexican fesat of tamales, enchiladas, beans, rice, fresh fruit and yummy desserts. A "cousin's concert" followed dinner. We were entertained with everything from piano performance and singing to telling jokes and displaying art. GO COUSINS!!
Matthew's contribution was to be good and look adorable.
