The First Baliwood Christmas Morning

With this enormous family's schedule we arranged for our first Christmas morning at Baliwood on December 30!  We started with the traditional singing on the stairs!  Sadly only 10 of our 18 grandchildren were there but that pretty well filled up the stairs and we were SO happy to get what we could!
