Yesterday was a success! It does feel like Christmas is past, though. It was very much a celebration with family and fun. Everyone was here except for Christina’s friend Anthony (he had to work!). I had snacks sitting out all afternoon and we really made short work of those. About 4:30 we had pizza and salad (and Veggie Pizza thanks to Jen), then plenty of cookies for dessert.
JOY of being a kid at Christmas!
SNOWFLAKE Cameron
Cameron had a great time – and it took a crew of at least five people to keep up with him all afternoon. He loved his family gifts – a barn with shape-sorter animals, and (from Kelly’s family) a reusable sticker book that creates scenes. We were all playing with them. Ransom came up and joined in the fun – he’s a good dog and was no problem but fun to have here.
We all slept good on Sunday night!
Playing with his barn.
Peyton brought Izzy (whom I had met several times) and I finally got to meet Logan’s girlfriend Clairese. Both girls are sweet and fun and just perfect the their guys! So happy to have them here. And the Steelers won, so that was Matt’s Christmas present (even though it was a very close call at the end!).
Autmn sent me a picture Saturday night on their way in – they stopped at PPG place to show Cameron the tree. He loved it! I asked him about it and he told me it was blue!
PPG Place Noah and Cameron
Beth txt me that she was in Williamsburg for a few days – and sent me a photo of a Colonial door (their Christmas Decorations Walking Tour is amazing!). I said (Jokingly) that I’d go next time – and she sent me a picture of their accommodations! Ha!

Did they really stay here? Hmmmmm……
Kath’s email said her bloodwork was great, and PCP appointment said she was doing perfect! So that’s a blessing for sure. And Nate has his appointment in the morning.
Both Kathy and Nate.
Cameron decided he was going to use my kitchen bar stools for a climbing gym. He crawled head first into the first one, went underneath it and climbed up and out of the second one. He’s a monkey! Ransom just watched – I think he was amazed.
In – head first

Ransom trying to figure it all out.
On my way home today I got stuck at a Railroad Crossing… Thankfully it wasn’t a L O N G G G G train!
I love my family!
