Christmas 2013:: Melissa's Family

Christmas Eve- what a wonderful day. The day before we celebrate the Lord's birth and I am surrounded by my family with good health. I have everything I could ever want or need!!

To add frosting to the cake- we spent the afternoon on Balboa Island with my side of the family. We had a great turn out-The Crouts, Brestels, Slevcoves, Reinharts and Kunihiro's were present (we missed uncle Mike this year). There was great food (thanks Mom for the meal), a fun white elephant game (thanks Aunt Chris) and a generous giving of gifts. I have had many Christmas celebrations with this crew- but I have to say that this was one of the best years ever. Now that the kids are older, everyone can enjoy each other and just be relaxed. I sure do love my family and am glad we could spend this quality time together!
