Phelan Fest 2008

Yes we are already at that time of the year again for the Phelan Family Christmas Party! Our Family has grown so much over the last year that we had to rent an outdoor picnic area to accomidate us all! John and I sent the girls with My sister, Uncle Ryan, Mom-o and Catfish while we attended a memorial for one of our college track coaches Doc Brown. The girls came home with lots of fun stories about Santa really being Scotty's dad and playing with all of their cousins! Mom and Dad enjoyed a nice weekend off! :) So just to remind you, there are 12 original Phelan Brothers and Sisters, I think 31 Phelan grandchildren and I think 20 great grandchildren!
