My mother's family gets together every year at Christmas. This year we went to my cousin Cary's brand new house which had plenty of room for everyone. The Tom Family seems to grow bigger every time we get together. Evan is the newest member of the family, but we recently found out that my cousin Beryl, who unfortunately couldn't make it to Cary's house, will be having twins this spring! My Grandpa Tom, who already has 12 great-grandchildren, was really excited about the news. He said "We're just going to skip 13 great-grandkids and go straight to 14!"
