Christmas

Katie, David, Henry and Audrey came Christmas afternoon to begin the gathering. The atmosphere of the house changes instantly when grandchildren arrive, with chatter, laughter, running and toys scattering on the floor. Friday afternoon, Kelley, Maggie and Sally arrived and Henry declared, "It must be time to open presents!" What a joy it is for families to gather for the holiday, especially when we are scattered over four states!

 

Christmas dinner was very merry!

 

We had a laid back weekend with good food, drink, and enjoying each other's company. Henry loved to build towers with his magnetic blocks, and was otherwise totally absorbed in his Kindle or iPAD. Maggie was constantly telling stories, making faces and laughing easily.

 

 

Audrey loved her doll baby, horsey rides and knocking down Henry's magnetic towers! As you can see in the photo above, Henry was quite impressed by my voice reaching his ears from the other side of the playground apparatus!

 

 

Thanks Sally, Kelley, Katie and David for coming to spend the holiday with us. Gretchen and I loved having you in Lynchburg! Love to all!
