It's become a tradition to have all the Gallup family get together for Mexican food on Christmas Eve.

We took several because it was tricky to get a good pic of everyone

Katie's birthday

Katie turned 24 on Dec. 20th.  We went to dinner at Fratelli's Italian Bistro in Gallup then she opened her presents.  It was fun to have her home on her birthday and through Christmas.

Christmas Piano Recital - Dec. 17, 2016

Every four years I do a Christmas piano recital.  It's so fun to hear all the Christmas songs.  The last song was a piano/organ duet where my friend Sarah played the organ and I played piano for "The Hallelujah Chorus"

Special guest Harpist

 Every year the Rehoboth Choir has a Christmas concert at the Catholic Cathedral in Gallup.  This year they sang some of my (Heather) favorite songs.  They sang, "Mary, Did You Know" and "Candlelight Carol".  There was a special guest lady who played the harp and sang.  It was a beautful concert on Sunday, Dec. 11, 2016.
