Feliz Navidad I

15 shots from our Dec. 25 celebration with Grandma Pat & Grandpa Jerry, who are now flying south with the migratory birds. A lovely, langsam (German) day - lots of basketball on the tele (British), dog walking, and a wonderful rack of lamb with fingerling potatoes and asparagus.

First one ready to open presents!

Somebody else was slow to awaken.

And someone else had to freshen up before making her appearance.

We've heard some of it already, can't wait for more!

A thumbs-up geode in the stocking. He thought it was coal.

Just a little excited to play 'Wicked' on the flute!

Now that she's a monthly donor to her Alma Mater, she earned some new swag.

A 500-piece NYC subway puzzle!

New slipper socks!

Both Grandma Vickie and Aunt Kathy wanted to buy her this book as well -- I'm glad they let me have the honor!

12 Days of Harry Potter socks. He's ready for Voldemort.

Somewhere under those chives and mustard is a very tender rack of lamb. Thanks, Carey and Mom!

Our Forever Gift.
