Junior and Senior take a break from a serious Wii Bowling game. |
Our new living room was full of Christmas: the stockings were filled, the tree was lit, and a Wii Bowling match was in progress. |
This little mouse couple has been part of our Christmas for 35 years. |
Ribbon candy and marshmallows + a ribbon star centerpiece on our table. |
Steve sat at the bar and watched Steve Jr. and me 'filet some oranges' on Christmas morning. He even looked up some YouTube demos to help us out. |
Steve Jr., Cecilia, and Will posin! |
Happy me. |
Our invited guests--the Mario Brothers |
Steve (aka Mario) and Will (aka Luigi) |
Somebody just fell into some hot 'glava' |
Cecilia connected all of us on Skype to her Mom and brother in Brazil. |
Will watched Cecilia open her Nativity Set. |
Steve's Navy Frogman/Battleship collection--finally under glass. Boyhood memories of the baking soda frogmen and ships are all captured in shadow boxes. |
Cuponk!! The Backhand Backboard installed. |
