Ratzlaff Family Christmas...in January

We celebrated our Ratzlaff family Christmas the second week in January this year. Everyone was able to come for the festivities. Paul, Jodi, Josh & Debi arrived on a Thursday and stayed through Sunday. Friday night Curt took us on a tour of the Gibbs Racing facilities. He took a new, challenging job with the Nationwide team as the race engineer for #20, Joey Logano. He has lots to accomplish before the first race in February.

After the tour, we had Donatos pizza at Curt & Robbe's apartment in Uptown Charlotte!

Paul & Jodi

We did a little gift exchange in the afternoon, then some good eating. It was such a nice weekend to be together. Paul received an XBOX Kinetics from Jodi, so we were all very entertained watching and taking turns playing. Elise loved it too.

It was so fun to be together. Our next Christmas gathering will be a very different dynamic with 2 new additions to the family. Debi is due April 10th & I am due shortly after on May 1st. A little boy for the Carlson's & a sister for Elise.
