White Family Christmas

This past Saturday was the annual White Family Christmas (aka Joel's mom's family). This year Joel's cousin Janie and her husband Josh hosted the celebration at their house in Ripon. Brave Souls! The kids exchanged gifts, while the adults donated money to the Modesto Gospel Mission.
It was a little more mellow than usual, but then again a few family members were absent. It sure doesn't feel like Christmas without Aunt Cathy and Aunt Pat. And there were a few cousins missing as well. Below is a picture of those cousins present.
But there were a few memorable moments. After dinner the men suited up and headed out for a late night football game. Uncle Carl didn't want to be left behind, so he too suited up, knee brace and all.










Beau and Kate stayed behind for some cousin bonding. Beau's already leaning on Kate for support. Maybe one day he can return the favor.
