Carly's First Christmas

Carly's first Christmas was spent in Marion with John's family. All of his family. All 16 (10 adults, 6 children) in the immediate Mayer clan stayed at Joannie and Claude's house. We spent Christmas Eve first with the Mayer clan, then at John's grandfather's house. We heard that about 104 folks made it there this year. It was packed!

Christmas Day was a relaxed day with John's dad's family. There were just 30 of us at that celebration.

Yes, John's family is large.

Enjoy the pictures! John combined (and edited) pictures from all his sisters, so we ended up with nearly 300 pictures from 4 days.
