Christmas with Nana and Pop

Christmas with Nana and Pop is loud and boisterous and fun! Since we all have children who like to open big gifts from Santa at home these days, we arrived at Nana and Pop's just in time for lunch. After we all ate, it was time for presents! 


My boys were thrilled to get a Skylanders game.


And books -- lots and lots of books! Nana and Pop gave Henry Papa's Mechanical Fish by Candace Fleming, and he was so thrilled. "I have wanted this book forever," he said.






Mary received many new clothes and she modeled them for all of us.



Grill tools for Pop


and Portuguese olive oil for Gene and Mike!


After presents, we all got outside for one of the only nice days of the entire winter break! The boys played football.







Mary tried out her new bow and arrow.



Will played a couple of games of chess -- he beat Gene and played Pop to a stalemate.


After a delicious standing rib roast dinner, the kids and Gene regaled us a new twist on "Deck the Halls," using the words from the book Deck the Walls.



Next year, little David will be a participant in all the fun!


What a lovely Christmas it was!
