Christmas

Finally getting around to posting some pictures from my Christmas vacation.

On Christmas Eve I got together with my immediate family to celebrate, eat lunch and open gifts.  It was my niece Emily's first Christmas, so most of my pictures were of her.

She was more interested in the paper than her present. 

Just hanging out.

On December 26, my family hosted my mom's brothers and sister and their extended families for the annual Yoder family Christmas, held this year at North Goshen Mennonite Church.  We ate a lot of food, had a time of sharing highlights from the past year, exchanged some homemade goodies, enjoyed John's traditional eggnog, and played lots of games.  A good time was had by all!

Listening to sharing from other family members.
