The first stop on our holiday journey was Newton to see the Grandmas and Grandpas and Phil, Zandra and Catia. Isabel, Oliver and Marla had all been sick the week we left Texas so we were hoping Clara and Damian would not get it on vacation. We were feeling like softies because we had left 70 degree weather and came into 10 degrees. Luckily we were prepared with the appropriate attire. Ollie was fascinated with his breath in the cold air. At one point in the warmed van he commented that he "losed his breath." During our few days we had a wonderful time opening presents, eating, reading stories, playing music, pretending. We even squeezed in a short playdate with Thomas and Elsie and attended church on Sunday.
Ollie quote: "Grandma, I've been looking for you!"- anytime grandma would retreat to her bedroom for a moment of peace.
Catia's play dough set was the big hit of the day.

Grandma Verna's dog, Stanley, loved eating popcorn from Isabel's hand almost as much as she loved feeding him. Isabel said something that sounded like "Stanley".
Grandma Lela did her best to please Clara and Oliver on the piano. Thanks Grandma Verna for the harmonicas! They were definitely a favorite gift this year. The great-grandpas would be proud!
