We used to stop by Tom's house on the way to Ohio to open gifts, but with the kids now, our trip is interminable so we don't have time to stop in the morning anymore. So we started another new tradition of getting together on the weekend before Christmas.
 |
Opening presents. |
 |
| The aftermath: no one playing with the toys they just got. |
 |
| Alice eating lunch at the kids' table. |
 |
| Simon: Two can play at this game, Grandpa! |
 |
| Mia realizing that Alice wants her to read every book in the house to her. |
 |
| Nothing sweeter than a sleeping baby. |
