After an afternoon of visiting with McK’s parents, looking after the house sitting, and sharing a sublime Christmas dinner—it was great Mom!—we all warmed up to conversation and cocktails.
After-dinner cocktails with McK, Jeep, and the Caseys.
Dad made several rounds of ginger martinis, a perfrect after dinner drink.
Little Bannack faught sleep to keep up with us all.
McK posted herself in front of the fire for most of the night.
This year’s Christmas was particularly special, as it was my nephew Bannack’s first. He got many beautiful gifts and was cheerful all day long. It is a Christmas to remember.
