A DeMattei Christmas

Enjoyed our evening at Dad and Leanne's with their traditional prime rib dinner.  We hovered over the appetizer table until dinner was ready, eating, drinking and laughing.

This was our first Christmas without Grams, but she was there in spirit and our hearts, watching over us as her legacy lives on, as our DeMattei Christmas would not be possible if it weren't for her and Papa.



Papa Love!
