Christmas/New Years in Salem

After lunch on Christmas day we headed south to have Christmas with my family.  We had a great visit and fit a lot in.  Enjoy some pictures from our week in Salem!

Happy day!

Gingerbread house mess fun!
The boys (and Katie) house
Hooray!
We decided to try something new this year.  My mom thought it would be fun for just the adults to go out too a nice dinner, and she was right!  It was so much fun!!  My Uncle Bruce and Aunt Jeanne (dad's brother) come from Virginia Beach every year to celebrate Christmas, so this was our Christmas celebration.  It was such a fun time of adult food and conversation.  Thanks Mom and Dad!!
The 10 of us!
Jared and I all dressed up!
Jared and his very red steak (he likes it that was!)
The next night, the Puricelli's hosted a New Year's Eve party for the kids (at 8 pm).  They had a blast and were all in bed and fast asleep before the real New Year came!
Happy New Year!!
Since Micah (my cousin) has moved back to town and started working at Squibb Tank Company- he encouraged us to come take a tour.  So we did!
