A Christmas Blessing

The day after Christmas we had our Goodman family Christmas party in Tucson. But more important, my good friend Ginger Parillo was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Ginger was baptized in the morning. We then drove to Tucson and spent the afternoon and evening with my brothers and sisters. (Ignore the pictures out of order)

Golf, Swimming, Market and Goodbyes

All good things must come to an end and so did our trip. One last photo before the tears start falling.
