Christmas at the Compound

We had a great time on our winter vacation this year! This year, we spent Christmas with Alex's family in Chestertown, Md. It was lovely meeting The Ray's! John, Betsy, Ben, Trixie, Sharon, Michele, Kyle and Scotchy were extremely welcoming and made me feel right at home. It was a little different for me as this was my first Christmas away from my family. Being that they are so special and kind, The Rays didn't forget anything and even Darcy got a gift to play with on Christmas Day! We spent the afternoon eating, drinking Sherry and watching home videos of Mr. Ray in his Penn days...The slide show was great also....they warned me that it was long, but I didn't care....I wanted to see all 25 slides of Ben, Alex and Trixie and their vacations every year in the Bahamas. Such a lovely piece of their family that they shared with me and now it is part of my Christmas tradition as well. I'm already looking forward to next year and those rum drinks!!!
