Another Christmas here and gone. Except in my family, most of the parties are yet to come.
With the deaths, births and marriages of the past couple decades, the Reilly, Borst, Mitchell and Barnes clans have had to rearrange our old holiday traditions. Pretty much all of our get-togethers happen between Christmas Day and New Year’s.
Today we’re on the road, headed to southern Ohio to visit my dad’s side of the family. That trip has become especially fun in recent years as our two cousins on that side are well into their teens… It’s been great to watch them develop into two smart and funny individuals.
