Holiday with Family--what fun!

Bryan and Anya (with granddaughter Celeste) from New Haven CT (Yale) and Colby (who is a senior at UCR-Riverside) joined us for a week before Chistmas near Las Vegas NV at a time-share.  We also had a visit from Karen's sister and husband (Kathy and David Gochnour) as they went through to San Diego CA.

Then we spent five sunny, beautiful days (and cool nights) after Christmas around Springdale Utah near Zion National Park.  It was wonderful!  They also got to see our house which is near completion and helped us make choices on "countertops" etc....  We move in sometime over the next 2-3 weeks if all stays on schedule.  Bryan and Anya then stopped-off in NYC for New Year's festivities and to visit the Zoo...etc...on their way home to New Haven.

I hope all our friends and family spent a lovely Holiday time together with those you love...  Below are some select photos back to Halloween in the case of Celeste, Bryan and Anya--and the rest are around Zion and Vegas--there will be many more later! Enjoy!
