The holidays kind of snuck up on us this year. Perhaps it was because we didn’t have to book flights far in advance and make sure our shopping was done before we had to leave. At any rate, Christmas arrived and we were hardly ready for it. Once the celebrations started, it felt like we were on a roller coaster, going from one party to another. It was a lot of fun while it lasted, but I think I am speaking for everyone around here when I say that it was good to have a week where we didn’t really go out at all.
Pam found a pair of skates for L at a garage sale earlier this year. We’ve only strapped them on twice so far, but L is already showing signs of improvement.
One of the good things about the Christmas holidays is that it gives us an opportunity to see (Great) Grandma F. When I sat down to chat a bit with her this year, she commented on how remarkable it was for her to be enjoying relatively good health at this stage in life given the boughts of rheumatic fever she had when she was young. We’re blessed to have her with us. I’ve been meaning to take a multi-generational picture for a while now. This year we finally did it.
The Christmas tree just about didn’t make it up this year. It was packed away in the garage with about half of our other possessions while the basement was being remodeled, and we didn’t have access to it till about a week before Christmas.
L and K have a great mom. She makes reindeer cupcakes!
Even though the play microwave was K’s gift, L had nearly as much fun playing with it as K did. When L was about K’s age, he couldn’t get enough of the kitchen set that was in the nursery at the church we attended in Amherst.
Thanks for putting up these pictures. Please send me a bigger one of the generations. Thanks
