Christmas 2011

We had an awesome Christmas this year with Marissa and Tommy and Sean through Skype, my mom,sister and niece and my mom's family through Skype, In my home was Maria, William, Patrick, Rebecca, Collin and Eric and myself. all in all it was the best Christmas in a long time. Never felt so close to my family at Christmas even though I am 1000 miles away. Thanks to Skype we were all able to be with one another and I got to spend the morning with Marissa and Tommy and Sean with all of us opening presents together. Got to see Tommy open all his gifts I bought him was the best Christmas gift I had was spending the morning with all my kids and grand kids.
