Christmas Events....finally posted

The entire family...it's hard to keep us all from moving!

Christmas 2010 was spent in Plymouth, Mi. Masons came from South Carolina, Erin came from San Diego and Rose and Bob drove down to pick up Grandma Alice in Sturgis and we all got together for four great days. Some representative photos follow. We are so lucky and blessed with our family!
