Christmas 2017
For Christmas 2017, we first drove out to see Mark's mom in early December, and then we returned home to decorate for the holidays. It was our first year without Elizabeth, since she and Andrew were due at his parents' this Christmas. Matthew was a trooper about keeping up with traditions, and we were able to drive to Houston afterwards to Elizabeth and Andrew. We had a special congratulatory dinner at Emmaline's as well -- to celebrate Patrick and Michael's engagement.
