Christmas #4

On December 26th we had our last Christmas celebration with the Seniors. It was nice to see Andrea, Joel, Ariana, Cory and Alec again. We don't get to see them very often, seeing that they are 6 hours away by car.


Grandma and Levi playing with one of the toys at grandma's house - a toy that I played with when I was a kid as well.
