One of my favorite traditions is our annual Keeney Christmas get-together. My grandparents, Gerald and Heddie Keeney began this tradition and we have been doing each year for as long as I can remember. Barbara, LaVonne, Tom and Dave Keeney.......that's where it started, and when the families all get together we realize how big our family has gotten. And it keeps growing! Our latest Keeney addition is baby Clara - Neil and Shannon's baby girl. This was her first Keeney Christmas. Audriana and Sofia could not wait to meet her and when they finally did, would not leave her alone! In fact, she was the star of the show! She was so good as she was passed from family member to family member. What a cutie! This year was special because all of Uncle Dave and Aunt Kathleen's kids were able to attend -- Connor and Emily (all the way from North Carolina), Shannon and Neil and baby Clara, Marc and Jenny, Dave (all the way from Boston) and Tim (who was a little late because he was finishing one of his finals at UW!). Tom and Bonnie hosted at their house -- good thing because they have the only house that can hold us all! It was absolutely beautiful! Bonnie does such a good job of decorating! Jeff, Linda and Baltimore, as well as Teckla also joined. In fact, we were all there except for Todd, Pam and the girls. We really missed them and wished they could have been there. Lots of pictures were taken and many memories were made. Uncle Tom made his famous chili, Aunt Bonnie made her special bread (that we all just love!), and the rest of us brought appetizers, veggies, snacks, and desserts. What a feast!
