Christmas 2023

Grandma and Grandpa joined us for Christmas this year. It was a joy to have them for a couple nights.
"I want an ugly sweater," Jack said. At least we found one with a cat on it.
Luke wanted this . . . cozy thing.
We ate and ate and ate.
The cats both love Christmas, mostly because of the tree, but the boxes are also nice.
Jack pondering life in front of the fireplace.
Grandma came with game! She spread out bags of cotton balls on the table...
The player is blind folded.
A spatula is used to scoop up as many of the little fuzzies into the bowl as possible.
Below: Jack's attempt!

Luke collects cotton balls like a pro.
And the medalists are...Mom, Grandma, and little old me for the bronze.

After we opened "everything" we told the boys there was one more thing in the basement...
 

It will take them a while to eat thier way through the snack food but not as long as you might think.

We had a wonderful Christmas and it was especially nice to spend it with Grandma and Grandpa.
