My parents came to visit the week before Christmas (bro couldn't make it becase he got sick right before a very important studio appointment with his band, so we told him not to travel). They really wanted to get together with everyone, so Mike's parents hosted a spaghetti dinner at their house with Rannae, Rob, Maddie, Danielle, Josh, William, and Hannah. There are 3 sets of pictures here - from us, Rannae and Rob, and Gwenn and Terry.

Presents! My parents brought some presents for everyone, there were presents for them, and we brought over "My First Christmas" Lenox giraffe ornaments for Maddie, William, and Hannah.
