Shepherd's Dinners

To spread out the holiday cheer we reached out to our children to host 4 separate Shepherd's Dinners. We were in town for the month of December and Lincoln's family was visiting for part of the month so that left only Britni's and Cameron's families unable to attend.  We focused on 3 families per site and simply Skyped Britni's and Cameron's family at the right locations.
