Sam doesn't see his maternal aunts and uncles very often, but Sherry talks to him about them frequently and shows them pictures. She'll say, "Here's a picture of a harp. Aunt Anastasia plays the harp." "Aunt Amy likes to play soccer." The result of all of this is that when Sam does get together with the rest of the family, he doesn't make strange with them at all, but engages easily. Here he is working on the computer with Aunt Amy.
Very late one night, my personal politician made some predictions. It won't be long before we find out how well he did.
A body can take only so much of the gifts, the stockings, the festivity, and then a body
has to get a nap.
Especially if said body spent several hours working on the gutters and other house projects.
Did I ever mention Joe's distaste for squirrels? I won't go into detail; suffice it to say there is no love lost between my hubby and these particular rodents. Here he is opening his stocking to find a squirrel wearing a Santa hat. This is Andrew's way of getting even for all of the years Joe put bags of cheese curls in
his stocking.
And here we have Anastasia and Tom, our gracious hostess and host in their bright and cheery kitchen.

Happily, they've moved out.
Great family moments, thanks.
OMG I can't wait to see how your personal politician makes out on these predictions. DONT let us forget!!!
Gutter cleaning - at this time of year? Oh someone is a slave driver or said person wanted to avoid kitchen duty?
And can I tell you how much I dig their kitchen?
