Christmas Evening 2009

Photos of our traditional Staggers' Christmas Dinner (ham and all the trimmings) and gift exchange with beloved family and friends. Unfortunately, we did not get many pictures this year (it is often too chaotic to remember :-) Missing are Jared, Paul, his brother, Dave, and Dave's toddler son, Jonathan.

Sarah's mom, Susan, and her friend, Joe, w/Gracie looking on.

Sarah and Evelyn enjoying a conversation. (Notice my "new" hutch behind them? It had originally belonged to Sarah's great-grandmother and was given to me by Sarah's dad and stepmom. The bottom piece is at least 75 years old! I am honored to keep it in the family.)
