Christmas 2014

If you look back several postings, to mid-year 2014, you'll find a Rockwell Relay post that I just added, almost 1 year later.  We're catching up big time after an extremely busy year or so.  Here are memories from last Christmas.

 Alicia's birthday is Dec. 21st, so we start with a shot from her visit during her birthday.  Her daughters sure love her!

Gayle, as is customary, directed all decorating efforts.  Here she stands among some of her results.

 It's great to have some of our family members so close.  Here are Robert and Tracine.

 Brit, Arleen (dressed for work), and Adrian enjoyed time with the group.

 Jared came to participate in the Christmas activities as well.

 Brian, Robert's middle son, was in town for the event, while mom holds a notebook to record gift information if necessary.
 
 Trying on a Christmas cap.

 Enjoying one another's presence as we open presents (play on words).

 Educational games are the best!  Having fun learning with Nana.

 The only really significant snow we had all winter was on Christmas Day.  Great time to play on the deer.

 The berm in winter.

 Snow shoveled piles are fun to play in too.

 Papa pulled the sisters on a sled that dates back, I think, to our days in Annapolis, or at least to our earliest days in Logan in the mid-60's.

The Andruses. Bret was able to be here as well.

 Must have been the 26th or so.  Different clothes but same time frame, and holding a present (the shaving cream tube...although McKel is a present too!).

A family gathering around Christmastime, to which Joni, BJ, and family were able to come.
