Hello from the Family blog! What follows is a pictorial of Christmas 2008 with the Celestins. Kipong Bouman and Grandpa Johnny (who is always behind the camera) enjoyed the holidays in Sacramento. It is tricky for me to coordinate text with photos on this blog so I'll just list in order for those who don't know the Celestin children.

The first two photos are from 2007, when Elsa, Ray and Johnny were leaving California to move up to Seattle and they had the little ones for a weekend. Joe made a Home Depot car out of wood and nails and the next is Monica, Lily and Joe eating ice cream at the fair Elsa took them to.
