Our daughter Melissa and her family arrived in Birmingham on Christmas day. We picked them up at the train station and drove directly to our son's home where we all stayed until the following day. Before leaving for Huntsville, I gathered the group, set the timer on the camera, and took this informal picture in front of Mark's Christmas tree.

Next to me is our son-in-law Treacey. Next to Treacey is our daughter Melissa and in front of her are their kids, Ian (12 this month) and Savannah (14). In the middle is a very happy Grandma. Our daughter-in-law Jenny is standing behind her two boys, Jackson (8) and John Michael (5), while our son Mark is holding their daughter, Margaret (2 next month).

We had a wonderful visit with everybody over the Christmas holidays. Melissa and family boarded the train for the return trip to Arizona on Thursday, and they are expected to arrive early, very early, tomorrow morning. I noticed on last week's post I forgot to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. So...

Please have a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year.
