In the afternoon of December 27, 2013, part of the family gathered at our apartment in Willow Valley before our Christmas dinner at the Stock Yard Inn.

It gave Suzy a chance to explain to the rest the photographs she had taken of their first grandchild, Amelia Rose Talarowski, born on Christmas Day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

We met Nancy’s family there at 5 PM and had a chance to socialize before eating.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The youngest kids had fun running around and enjoying some activities brought by well prepared mothers.

I like the idea of all the family present eating at one table together at least once a year, and that was possible again this year.

 

This dinner together is one of the high points of our year, and we appreciate all the  efforts of so many who made it another great success.
