More Christmas Traditions (and the snow begins to melt)

There's one more Christmas tradition in Brian's family, and it involves all his extended family (ie, the neighbors when he was growing up). They always have a big holiday party with Brian's parents' generation, Brian's generation, and now Brian's generation's kids. Here are the ladies from Brian's generation (including spouses):

I've really enjoyed all the Christmas traditions I've gotten to experience for the first time with my in-laws. All of my in-laws, Brian's blood relatives and former neighbors, have been wonderfully welcoming, kind, and loving, everything Christmas should be!

I will leave with some photos of what I thought was impossible, snow melting in Michigan in late December.
