Christmas night program

 Aunt A hosted us all for waffles and treats.  At E's special request, Gma prepared the nativity skit, and got everyone involved.

 After the nativity, we had a few more musical numbers.

 and some pullups

Christmas at home

We loved Christmas morning.  Our East Coast family spoiled us.  E received art supplies and science projects, and Santa totally came through with roller skates.

Nutcracker surprise

 We packed early so that we could enjoy our Christmas time in Seattle in peace.  R surprised us with a Christmas eve outing.  total success.  e and i were both totally surprised and both loved the Nutcracker matinee.  bonus, we finally got that awesome family photo for our annual card.

 another beautiful day, one of our last rides on the viaduct.

These are my people

 after 20 years, they downsized.

 the timing was perfect so that i could attend the Riverton City Community Christmas concert. T&J performed with the children's choir.  The music was beautiful. We all teared up when Santa took off his hat and knelt to the Baby Jesus.

 The next stop was T's recital. I also got to hear him play the organ in church on Sunday.  he's a talented young man.

 A's sweet nephews, whose parents are separating. so hard for the boys.  *I love you R*

 Mom's salad. she makes a big batch and eats it all week.
I took it to a dinner party last night, except i added cheese and a dressing with oil...

 sweet B girls came over to visit.

 Gpa got a new calling as primary chorister.  he's going to be great.

 The A family also came over to say hello!

 M played me a tune.  he's such a good cousin for E.
