They say that a picture is worth a thousand words. Our Christmas holiday with the family was wonderful and filled with four generations and lots of food and love. Here are a few of my favorite moments of memories we made.
One of Great Grandpa's annual duties is managing the trash bag for everyone's wrapping paper scraps. Here we see him in a classic pose in his signature green pants and shirt awaiting Katy's next trip to the trash bag with scraps. We had to watch her . . . she sometimes threw away instructions and receipts and other pieces of paper that weren't destined for the garbage!
The "hands-down" hit of the family celebration were the two push toys that Great-Granny got for Gabe and Katy to ride. Besides playing music and having other sound effects, Uncle Neil provided the propulsion to take the babes on a few exciting runs across the entire length of the house. Emily got a video of this, which is a scream. I hope she posts it on Katydid!
Here we see Katy and Oma exploring the land of "Puff, the Magic Dragon" with one of her new books. Oma is continuing her push to get Katy interested in music. (I think it's working.) "Singing" books are a favorite right now.
Christmas Eve Morning . . . . Katy got some tiny gloves in her stocking. Brian tried to get the fingers in the right holes. We all remember the drill, right?
Aunt Melanie is all smiles . . . there has been a camera on her Christmas list for at least three years. Santa has been working on it. :-)
Buckeye Katy enjoys her new kid-sized rocker. She needs a good place to sit when she watches those Dora videos!
Opa, the tool using animal, investigates his pocket auto tool kit. Katy is quite interested in the pretty, red toys in Opa's kit, too.
Mama and Katy relax after all the packages are open. It is a nice morning for being lazy and just enjoying being together. Merry Christmas!
