the best gifts...

"The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree:

the presence of a family all wrapped up in each other."

~ William Vaughan

I stole that quote from my dear friend's blog ~ it just perfectly describes our holiday trip!

The gifts were thoughtful, the tree was beautiful (wasn't it?!), Santa was generous and the food was abundant. However, all of that was secondary to the fact that we were all together... cousins, brothers, grandparents and great-grandmothers!

More to come...
