There are plenty of pics this week.
Happy Meatballs
Christmas starts with preparation, and Danita is an expert at that. Here you see her making her special happy meatballs (which we will be eating tonight, as a matter of fact.) We’re enjoying a whole range of special foods for the holidays — ham, snacks, sweets. It’s a great part of the holidays. Christmas day was quiet for us. We went to Ed & Lynne’s for dinner. Bud was also there. It was just the five of us.
Opening Presents
The Reeds arrived yesterday. It didn’t take long to get around to opening presents. We finished the day off with “Kung Fu Panda”. That plus the drive up was plenty for the Reed kids on one day.
At the art museum
Sunday we played the parachute game. Then we played the Nerf gun game. Our special event was a visit to the Baltimore Museum of Art, where the kids made art inspired by the miniature rooms on display. After our happy meatball dinner, Jul and Pat will go off to visit Maribeth, while the kids stay home and watch Kung Fu Panda II.
Of course, some experiences are just better told in pictures than words. So here’s a bunch of extra pictures for your general entertainment.
