We traveled to Manassas on Christmas day to see Phoebe, Bob, Mamaw, Papaw and my many cousins, aunts and uncles. We ended our night back in the Valley at Grandaddy Jarrel’s home where we celebrated with Ben’s family. It was a long, but fun day! We also enjoyed Christmas celebrations with The Shreckhise and Durso family on the 23rd, Dick’s side of the family on Christmas Eve, and the Halterman/Harper group on the day after Christmas. It was a very joyous holiday!
