Sometimes you really can go back home. We were fortunate to spend Christmas at my Mom's in the same house I grew up in, in Southern CA. What a treat to be with my side of the family.
From having
Raclette at my sister & bro in laws home on Christmas eve to brunch at mom's on Christmas Day. I know a good time was had by all.
'Here are some of the pictures to share with you.
