My family usually spends Christmas Eve with the Richards family. And of course we always have fun! Here in this picture is Carissa, Abel, Dad, Ernie, Karen, Levi, Allison (my sister), Danika and then in front Ralph, me, and Mom. 
The biggest trade show in Medical Imaging is called RSNA since it is organized through the Radiological Society of North America. Every year it starts the Sunday after Thanksgiving and is held in Chicago at the McCormick Center. It is a busy week and we all have tons going on. It is also fun since we get to see a lot of our co-workers who happen to all be gathered in the same place. This is a video from Philips since Invivo is too small to have made such a thing. I thought it was kind of fun as a video instead of pictures. Enjoy!
I again hosted the Thanksgiving dinner this year with a bit smaller crowd than usual. Starting with me and going clockwise you see: Mom, Dad, Mike, Linda, Ralph, and Allison. Ralph is a sweet older gentleman that is close friends with our family. His daughter Linda and her husband Mike joined us since they were in town visiting Ralph. We had a very nice time chatting and watching the Packers WIN! There was certainly a lot to be Thankful for. My older sister Laura and her family joined us after dessert and my favorite thing is when my niece and nephew were sad to leave since they were having so much fun at my house :-)
I am also adding a link to a presentation that gives facts about What Really Happened in the Middle East. Very interesting!
