We had quite a holiday season! Christmas company began for us December 8th and lasted through Dec 31st. We had celebrations with local family, Georgia family and Pennsylvania family. We missed Randi’s sisters and their families but were together in spirit. The washing machine ran non-stop and the kitchen was always open. It was fun! It was really hard to narrow down my favorites from all of the pics we took but I finally got it done! What you see here is a compilation of six different family gatherings! We like life busy, as you can see! To see a slideshow, or a pic larger, just click on it. Hover over the pic for the caption.

Obviously, the gingerbread women were decorated and the gingerbread men were not. 😉
All Boy. Thank you, MiMi and Peep, for the Lightning McQueen hoodie!
Snuggling on the couch is something the Dunlap men excel at. It must be a trait passed down from Pap Pap.

Little Heidi is always good for a hug!
This was a family project. We all helped and as much candy went on these as went in the mouths!
The kids would not visit Santa at the Mt. Pleasant Farmers Market, but the balloon artists were a hit. This Lightning McQueen is quite impressive!
