Christmas Cheer

 



Christmas thoughts always turn to family and the

joy of simply spending time with each other.

We don't even need any activities;

it's enough to just be together.

That being said,

we did a few things while we were together.

Bowling

 Cookie Decorating

 

 

 

 

Ethan's cookies went into a special container

since he was prone to licking his fingers, licking the cookie,

or nibbling on the decorations before they got on the cookie.

 

 Mexican Food

 

 

 

Croquet

 

 

Goodies

 

Presents

 

Some were more difficult to open thanks to the

diligent efforts of their cousins.

 

Kitchen wall redo

 

Roaring around town in Grandpa's vintage pickup.

 

A brass elephant showed up at the white elephant gift exchange.

It was big enough for a two year old to sit on.

 

Looking spiffy for family pictures.

 

This is my favorite picture of the week:

Ethan was admiring Uncle Rudy's paint job and

considered himself to be the "helper."

These two simply enjoy being together.
