Christmas

Four days of family gatherings made for a good Christmas this year. Having my parents living close by made it easy for us to drive over the beautiful 46 to Kelly and Brian's for Christmas Eve and early Christmas day. The presence of Brian's parents made it even better.

                                           The Ugly sweater look modeled by Brian and Kelly

 Granddad Oscar gets warm clothing for walking the bluffs of Cambria.

                                                      Bixby made me a "waterfall" sculpture.

 Gigi and Great granddad Oscar discussing his Italy painting.

                                                      A game of Frisbee golf

                                          Bixbys main interest this year is Legos. He follows the directions himself and had built all 5 sets before bedtime. Here he is "teaching" Nana Gwen

                                        The architects discuss Grandads building plans

 After dinner a Rudolf race with the wind-up toys in the English party crackers

 Nanny Gwen has always wanted a dressmakers dummy. She still does a lot of sewing.

 The "find it" book was a big success with all age levels, Papa, Great grandad Oscar and Bix

After Christmas, my brother Bill, his wife Patty and son Alex came to Cambria for a couple of days.

                                                       More fun with the dummy

                                                   Then off for a walk through the forest

                                                            Bixby finds a raccoon print

And he found some Nature Art

                                            And finally, a tired boy snug in mommy's arms
