Christmas Eve was the annual Ed Plattner (Grandpa) Family Christmas which is traditionally a chili supper. We had a great time with fellowship and a nice evening discussion planned out by Aunt Mary. Sorry the pictures aren’t so flattering, I have many more, but I decided to just stick with pictures of Dad’s siblings to keep it short and simple.
Uncle Joe and Aunt Julie with two of their daughters, Janelle and Emily, and their future son-in-law Elias.

Thank you for hosting Aunt Mary, it was a lot of fun.
We left Uncle Bill and Aunt Mary’s around 8:30 PM and headed to Ohio. It was a great trip. The children slept most of the way. I drove the first part and enjoyed the quiet time to sing and listen to a CD and really focus on the words and have a heart of worship.
Two draw backs ~ when we got to Mom and Dad Riley’s around 5:30 AM their time (4:30 Central) most of the children were awake for good! We had a Christmas service at our church at 10 AM which meant not much sleep for Chad and I. On the other hand, it made sure we didn’t stay up late every night because we needed to get caught up on our sleep.
Stay tuned for more pictures from our Riley Christmas!
