Riding Family Christmas Party

I am writing this from my phone so I hope it works. We had the Riding family Christmas party the Saturday after Thanksgiving. It's become a tradition to do that and it works our great. We had so much fun and the kids had a great time. Lawson did great and didn't even cry when he sat on Santa's lap. Connor was convinced that it wasn't the real Santa because he brought the presents in a garbage bag and not a 'real' bag. It was a bittersweet party without my Aunt Cinda there. She is deeply missed and it feels strange to not have her there.
I love my family and always look forward to spending time with them.
