Christmas 2009

On December 27, 2009, Mark & Pam and their children and grandchildren all gathered in Macungie for our Family Christmas Celebration.

It's no professional photo, but here are the proud grandparents and their kids.

There were lots of presents to share, as each of the kids received a Treasure Bag as well as gifts from their aunts and uncles.

It was fun to watch one generation help another and enjoy the magic of Christmas.

A Turtle!

Gus just loved his very own turtle -- and he learned to say it!

When it comes to smiles, Ivy can light up a room!

When you need help, it's good to have an uncle handy!
