Every Christmas Eve, the Swank branch of our family gathers together in Salem for dinner, gifts, and conversation. In a lot of cases, we haven’t seen these people for an entire year, so it’s a good chance to re-connect.

Over the years, this gathering has grown quite a bit, and it’s becoming challenging to fit everybody into one portrait!

The next day, we hied hence to the Jenson household for more gift exchanging.

From our family to yours, have a great 2014!
