Downing Christmas!

For the Downing family, we like to spread our events out as much as possible. We had Christmas with Katie the second weekend of December. The next weekend Joan arrived. During Joan's stay Kelly made a visit, and while they were all here we had a party at the Downing home. Then on Christmas day my parents come over, and we always open our boxes in a very orderly fashion while Mom photographs every moment. Often times if she misses a shot we have to reinact the scene just for her. We can laugh about it now. Neat, orderly, quick, and pracitical is the Downing Christmas way.
