December 23 – 25, 2023

The family celebrated Christmas a little bit differently this year and it was great. We started Saturday evening when everyone gathered at our cottage then headed to Bluffton to attend church services at Heidi and Gary’s church. We then enjoyed take-out barbeque at the cottage curtesy of the Prado’s . Before dinner we had a surprise high school graduation celebration for Alexandra since this was the first time that the family gathered since she matriculated.

Christmas Eve everyone did there thing in the morning then gathered for Turkey dinner at the cottage, and football watching. Christmas day we all met at Jennifer and Mikes new second home on Spring Island. The gift exchange started around 9:00 AM followed by brunch. More football watching then in the late afternoon Jennifer and Mike hosted Christmas dinner and then more football watching. One of the best family Christmas’s ever!
