Christmas Eve 2009

I can't believe I forgot to post my Christmas pictures! Must be getting really old. We had a dinner at Benita's and Drew's and Tricia's on Christmas Eve. Logan warmed up to Benita and was entertaining. Kyle's family was first to arrive. Twenty minutes later Sally and I arrived. Julieanna, Geoff, Cora and Hazel showed up about fifteen minutes after us.


Logan has a conversation with Benita.



Sally has a "diet" and mugs in a conversation. I don't recall the conversation; but, I looks like Sally doesn't know the answer to some question.



Logan looks a little sleepy-eyed or battling her perpetual "cold". She is very good at keeping her happy attitude through it all.

Cora shows up in her party dress. it was very cute. And she made "Santa" very happy by stopping by me as soon as she came in the door.

Ashley holds Cora and Alex is snacking back there. They are all but grown up.

Alex sporting a new do! He has gotten very close to teenager status and discovered hair gel. There is no wind on Earth that could move his hair. BUT, he is a super nice young man and he is bright, clean, friendly and politely. I'm certain Santa will bring him good things.

Cora and I went up stairs to Drew's apartment to see Ashley. She was making Hors D'Oeuvres. She is now a large version of Tricia. Santa surely brought her good things too.


Drew takes his turn holding Hazel while Grandma gets the "old one". (Cora)
Actually, Cora is the gently used, broken in, trained one. Or even more likely she has us trained.


Uncle Drew and Alex talk with Cora, then she realized the camera was on her.

Then Kyle's left before dinner and I quit taking pictures then. See you all tomorrow.
