Great memories of time together as a family

Christmas at Running Y Klamath Fall, OR

Our family Christmas party consisted of performances by each person. Chantelle and Alicia did a song from High School Musical, Dave sang "Mary did you know?", I sang "Goodmorning Baltimore" (with some drama)from the movie Hairspray. We had a very fun time...there were many other performers and we made a fun memory of Christmas at the Schlafke's 2007

Enjoying the holidays with family!
