I have a whole album full of photos from our Texas visit that I haven’t posted yet. We had such a nice time!
Here are some of my favorite pics. Nearly all of them were taken by Bryan’s mom or dad.
When we arrived, Andrew and Sylvia were excited to find that they each had a cookie, a box of crayons, and some Christmas coloring books at their table. They sat right now and got to work!
Here’s Bryan and Mel…
Grandad and Andrew on Christmas Eve.
Sylvia tends to her new baby doll on Christmas morning.
Bryan and Andrew doing one of their favorite games: chess puzzles
Bryan and Andrew playing with Andrew’s new stacking game (Grace, we got the idea when we visited you!)
Granny reads to her grandkiddos.
These animals get some major use! They had whole communities built for them, and then they started engaging in strange stacking behaviors.
Andrew snuggling with his Aunt Mel
Grandad and Sylvia play with vintage Little People. How many can she fit on her fingers?
It wasn’t particularly warm during most of our visit, but on the days that the sun came out, we all basked in the back yard. Love those piggies!
Andrew seemed to enjoy himself.
Soaking up some sunshine.
Oops! Sylvia got it in her head that she wanted to be naked, and while it was only 50 degrees or so, she was perfectly content to play outside in the nude.
Oh, and we played lots of games in the evening. Poker, buckskin, Lost Cities…it’s always fun to play games!
I think I’ve caught-up on photos. Now I just need to pick up my camera again so I have some photos of January to share!
Hope you’re having a good day!
i love how not only you have the animal stacking game, but that the "real" animals can play that game, too!john currently LOVES to play crazy 8s. santa got him a deck of cards with the "how are you peeling" faces on them. it's pretty fun… but after 10 games in a row…
