A Wonderful Christmas Gathering
We thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas gathering with our family. Staying at the house gave us a chance to spend time together with the grandkids and to share Christmas Eve and Day together! We were able to prepare our Christmas meal in the kitchen with no problems and store what leftovers we had in the fridge easily. Thank you for sharing your house with us!
