It wouldn't be the holidays...

...without our annual Knudsen/Demmert dinner at Courtright's. We had to reschedule -- the weather wasn't conducive to the drive over the river and through the woods (quite literally!) -- but pulled it off without a hitch Dec. 30. (Great) Aunt Val joined us, too, and talked ponies with Ellie.
Elle, this time in full charm mode with Omi.
And the whole fam, clockwise from back left: Ellie, Mommy, Daddy, Great Aunt Valerie, Aunt Liz, Will, Grandpa, Grandma, Opa, Omi and Uncle Dave.
A big thank you to Omi and Opa for hosting this event each year!
