Where My Heart Is...

This time of year I can get pretty melancholy thinking about being away from my family. We love being able to stay home for Christmas, just the 4 of us, but I do miss Christmas with family. We used to have Christmas Eve at our house-anyone and everyone was invited. Then we would have Christmas morning at Tim's parents', and usually Christmas night there was a big gathering with all of my extended family...Here are a few pics from years past...(I know, sooo Clark Griswold of me, huh?)
