Kuppersmith Christmas

After St. Louis, we headed to Bloomington the afternoon of the 23rd.  We stayed at Rick and Jean's and enjoyed Christmas with them, Angela's family (Brandon's girlfriend), and the extended Kuppersmith Family.  The funniest time of the whole celebration came Christmas Eve when we all "dressed up" for the arrival of Angela's family as if it was our normal attire for our Kuppersmith Christmas.  Of course, I could not keep a straight face but we kept it on for quite a while.  The whole family had fun with it, as you will see.  I am so thankful for the family I married into.
