Annual Christmas Family Gathering

Growing up, every year the Tompkins clan would gather together on Christmas Eve.  It was a tradition.  But in recent years, due to scheduling and having family who work for the church, they couldn't always come on Christmas eve.  So we switched it up a bit.  Life throws changes at you, some you can control, some you cannot.  We were able to gather together (well some of us!) and had a fun time together.  I truly missed my dad laughing in the background, or seeing his face light up as people streamed through his doorway.  It's been harder then I thought it would be.

With the help from Denise and my Aunty Heather, we played a new fun game.  I think this will be a new tradition that we will carry through for the years to come....
