Once again, Annie and Paul hosted a joyful Christmas gathering in their cozy home. Despite the party lasting a good 4 hours, it still wasn't enough time to visit with everyone! Annie & Paul, Christe & Steve, Ellen & Jeff, Jo, Judy & Scott, Linda, Liz, and Nanc attended, along with the "kids," Emma & Forest, Marah, and Ty.
