Our 2020 Christmas probably was better than most. Hunkered down in our RV, in elder daughter Rebecca's Menlo Park driveway, we got to spend it with half our immediate family--we zoomed Christmas day with the other half, younger daughter Rachel, in DC--and the center of attention, of course, was grand-daughter Penelope, approaching ten years old and a self-proclaimed Tween. Though the gifts she received favored the elder side of Tweendom, she reverted to the younger side on Christmas morning, one more time, much to our enjoyment.

| Things hadn't changed much in the neighborhood |
 |
| Christmas Past and Christmas Present...a gingerbread house we made a few years back...and a gingerbread RV we made this year (Penelope's idea) (from Rebecca's archives) |
 |
| There were many big presents, but one of the favorites was a Sephora make-up kit from Auntie Rachel (note digital hearth) |
 |
| P is really into make-up, despite the fact she is not allowed out of the house with it... |
 |
The other big area of interest is Harry Potter, and this HP backpack from Auntie Carole was a similar hit |
 |
| Christmas brunch; somehow I failed to get pix of the Christmas eve fondues, cheese and later meat and seafood; and still later the Christmas day charcuterie and cheese board and then the chocolate fondue... |

| Applying make-up to Grandma in the camper |
 |
| Grandma, made-up |
 |
| P with some of her make-up "haul" |
 |
| I did not escape un-made-up |
