We also celebrated Christmas with my mom’s side of the family and my dad’s side of the family. I was so busy chasing the kids around and talking to family I hardly took pictures!
Mangan family Christmas
Gebhart family Christmas
It’s all I’ve got. But I cherished both days—some family members I see hardly ever any more, including my cousin Ben who is teaching in Alaska and my cousin Brett and his family, who live near Cleveland. So I’m thankful we still get together, thankful we have each other in our lives, and thankful my children are able to know the people who have surrounded me my entire life.
“Christmas is a time when you get homesick—even when you’re home.” —Carol Nelson
