Xmas, 2017

Another fun old-fashioned family Christmas (Rachel was with the Sehestedts in Missoula this year)...
Making cookies with Grandma and Mama
Twas the night before...
Xmas morning...the subsequent several pix were a blur of excitement
Major grand-parental gift
With a back-story, of course
Molly
Rebecca's big gift from Vicki, a photo album of her early years
Assisting Daddy
And me
P has a robust sense of humor...here reading
from a joke book that came for Xmas
Rebecca
Jeremy
P's gift to Mama, a custom-decorated pillow case (with a little guidance from
Grandma)
And ditto for Daddy
P's Xmas ontology was evolving this year; at age six, I think
we got to see the last excitement and wonder of a Santa-
believer;  as things passed she grew equally excited about the
prospect of being part of the family tradition of giving; that's
part of what the pillow-cases were about; such a sweet girl
Vicki with The Road Goes Ever On, Volume IV (extremely
rare first edition)

A great Christmas! Love the book...I hope you have made one for each year of your travels. If not, you will have to go back and do them. Cara made one from our first year in Chicago with Wesley, and we treasure it.
