Ho, Ho, Ho!!!
Merry Christmas
From the Traveling McManus Family
Another year has past, and we must apologize to all for the tardiness of our annual Christmas card. But along with the Christmas season came some personal sorrow with the passing of Karen's step-mother Laura Braun. Karen spent the week prior to Christmas in Sacramento helping her Dad adjust to life without Laura. She will be missed by all who knew her.
This past year our family hosted a child from Belarus for a six week stay in Seattle. She was brought here through a program to help children from the area contaminated by the Chernobyl nuclear accident. Our Kelly proposed the idea and raised money to pay the program costs herself (A special thanks to all who contributed). We had a wonderful little girl named Sasha join our family for summer adventures.
Following Sasha's visit, the family went on a two week camping trip to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. This adventure included a guided back country camping trip - complete with gear carrying llamas.

While in the parks, Dad snuck off and did a two day climb on the Grand. A Grand Adventure.

And, as always, we wish all our friends and family a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
