Christmas Day 2002

It was a long day for the Athomen. Christmas eve with Grandma et al, the morning with Christa and Jon's clan at Grandma's (with junior Athomen's mother and half brothers joining in at the end). Whilst Jim stayed put, Nick and Stephen went to lunch at Stephens' brother Chris. Then all united again for a dinner at the Traynor residence... Click on image to enlarge.
