Holly Jolly....

We spent Christmas with Nana and "Grandpa". (He's been Granddad since William was born, but so has their paternal grandfather, so we decided to change it to avoid confusion!)

We couldn't resist this four-generation of women-folks photo op:

1. Mimi
2. Mother
3. Me and Sarah
4. Naomi and Leigha

We also went hiking in the forest. The kids had fun playing Tarzan.....








































And we visited NASA's Space Center - way cool!! The kids had several profound conversations with this astronaut just before his tether broke and he floated off into space. Naomi has decided that she wants to be an astronaut because the lady giving the "Blast Off" speech said that the kids in the audience were the right age to be on the first manned mission to Mars. So, now Naomi wants to go to Mars.

Naomi and William both had fun getting to meet their second cousin, Leigha. Sarah and I were both kind of weirded out by being the parents at this Christmas gathering, rather than the kids who were being told to chill out. Time flies, as they say....

It was neat to be close enough to Mimi and Pa's place that they were able to join us. They only came while we were eating, though. Hmmmm.......... In this family, it's all about the food!! (How can it not be, with such great food around??)

It was fun for Mimi and Pa to get to hang out with three of their Great Grandkids all at once. (Does that mean "great" kids? We'll let them decide....)

A great time was had by all!
