The snow just kept on falling for most of the day... But Connor's family wasn't afraid of this Solstice Smackdown, and ventured out onto the roads to come spend Christmas at our place.
Our home was jam packed full of family...EVERYWHERE. I believe we were hovering around a head count of 40. We were shoulder to shoulder laughing, cooking, eating, and just having a Merry ol' Christmas.
Cousin Paul, Connor, and Uncle Terry

Palm Springs. Here they are with Kyle's parents Sally and Steve.

It was a whirlwind of a day, it was over before we knew it.
I didn't know how many would show up on our doorstep because of the weather conditions...
I should've known better... This family loves eachother and will do whatever it takes to be together to share in the joy of Christmas.
I'm glad to be a part of such a wonderful family, they truly are a delight.

OMG~ Your Christmas must have been Crazy but totally fun! It looks like everyone had a great time and that's what it's all about! I am glad everyone was able to attend your Christmas celebration even with such horrible driving conditions. This is truly a Christmas to remember!

Kelly, You & Connor know how to host Christmas! It was wonderful! It is so much fun to see all the generations enjoying themselves together. Loved Nick & Madison's duet. I only got a little of the video on my camera. Thanks again for a wonderful Christmas. It was one to remember! Love, Aunt Lee
