Christmas 2010

Paperwhites I planted before Thanksgiving bloomed right on time.
They guarded the best Jelly Belly mix and some Baby's Breath.
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.

Opening presents is a blur of fun,
especially when it's a cutting board for the novice chef.

Steve is the BEST sous chef!
He's not mad, he's just about to say "Merry Christmas."

Three of the best gifts a mother could ever enjoy . . .
