Christmas #3 - Astoria

After a VERY LONG mid-day drive from the 'burg to Astoria, we had a wonderful Christmas dinner at Jude's house. We were joined by Judy, Anna, Poppa P, Penny P, Uncle Louie, Aunt Terri, and our cousins. We had a great dinner and visit with everybody. Aunt Terri asked plenty of questions and was often heard exclaiming, "OOH!! Tell me about..."

After dinner and after Terri, Louie and the kids left, we had our Christmas gift exchange. Everyone had a great time and lots of fun presents were exchanged. Unfortunately, we didn't get to spend much time with Anna. She went home the next morning. We did get to see her on our trip home, but that's a different story, altogether.

Finally, we were able to catch up with our dear friends Tobi and Rachel. They have moved to the states from Germany and this was our first chance to see them since our visit two summers ago in Berlin. It was great to see them and catch up on what's been happening in their life.
