| 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 . . . |
