A BAKER'S DOZEN IN RANDOM ORDER

Goodness, it has taken a while to get this blog up!  I lost a couple days to

being under the weather and another couple waiting for a new power

cord to arrive.  And then there is the ongoing project of getting the

house back in order.  But, here is a first installment.

As the title says, no order.

Maggie:  Please can I go home with you?

Eleftheria:  Not in this lifetime!

Christmas Morning and the stocking is empty!

Wouldn't this make a great Christmas card?

Well, Yiayia is tired...

T'was the night before Christmas and all through the house, 

not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse...

Look at all those stockings!

Christmas Morning on the stairs...it's tradition!

So, I took 3 photos of Artemis and Papou and their crocs.  

I cut Papou's head off in all three (sorry honey)...

I wish everyone could have seen Artemis' reaction

to getting those shoes.  She knew instantly that

they were just like Papou's.  The child is obviously

brilliant!

Everyone was home for some part of the holiday.

 It was so much fun to have you all here.  I you look closely at Keith, you will see that

he is suppressing a smile - enjoying both being away from his own home and loving

the chaos of extended family life.

LeAnna, and Adam wistfully thinking that they would love

to stay longer, expecially since the weather was unseasonably warm.

LeAnna, as you can see, is especially sad to have missed today's

weather:  2:00pm - 28*, 9:30 - 6*.

Christmas Evening on the steps.  I love you all.  Thank you for sharing your

time with us.

A brief snuggle moment.  It makes my heart happy.

I find that being a grandmother is the very best job ever.

Who's in charge?

More latter.  Love You.

Mom
