Allen Family

We gathered or Christmas with Jerry & Gail the day after the big ice storm hit Michigan, knocking out power to thousands (our home included). Thankfully the clubhouse in their community still had power, so we were able to continue on as planned. We dined on tacos and a variety of chili's today before moving on to opening the gifts. Since the power outage affected so many, we were unable to purchase the gifts for Jerry & Gail, so those will be given to them at a later date.
