For Christmas we went up to Cleveland to spend it with the Jagodnik/Formica family. Mom and dad always drive up to Cleveland from DC, my sister (Bean) flies home from Key West and us from Columbus. Christmas Eve is huge for my family. It's tradition to go to church, then come back to Grandma and Auntie Nance's house for dinner. Following dinner we open gifts from the youngest grandchild up to my Grandma (11 grandchildren, 6 spouses, 3 great grandchildren, 4 of my mom and her sibs, and their 3 spouses). Yes, it's timely however it's tradition, time together, and always entertaining. Daren got to experience his first BIG Christmas! We always spend the day with dad's side of the family too over at Auntie Susie and Uncle Tom's house. Dinner is always delicious, the games always get us riled up, and this year we were told a new family member would be joining us in July 2008. Our new baby cousin, Joey! This picture is The Jagodnik Family, small but mighty! *Side note: please notice Daren's red corduroy pants, they go to an old suit, yes red corduroy suit, his dad wore that Daren found during one of our trips to New Hampshire. They started out as a joke, but are now a hit!
