Santa Pablo visits the Linton Christmas do

Young Carter pondering Santa's beard

Ella shows off her beads

Sunday found us at Stratford's Festival Inn enjoying the company of Jane's mother's family at the annual Linton Christmas party. All kinds of in-laws and out-laws showed up (no black sheep this year). The kids had a ball, and we all went swimming in the hotel's pool afterwards. I love the holiday season, with all the opportunities to visit with friends and relatives.
