On Christmas Eve we drove from Connecticut through Massachusetts and southern Vermont, ending up at a family lakefront home in New Hampshire.
I had some time with Annabel, too, but without antler I wasn't half the fun.
The last event before the kids went to bed was putting out cookies and milk for Santa Claus.
Our daughter Liz and her husband Conor at dinner time.
The adults enjoyed a stupendous meal prepared by Susan, far right, with a passle of helping hands.
The best gift of all is being with family during the holidays. Happy days of joy everyone!
