CHRISTMAS WITH THE GRANDCHILDREN

 Tuesday we headed to Lancaster to visit Larry's family. We had breakfast with his sister, Barb, and her husband Tom. Then we went to see Brady, Irina and their new baby. We notice there were patches of snow on the ground from the day before. They had a lot more accumulation then we had in Philadelphia.  

Ksenia is only two weeks old.  

After visiting with them we went to Brian's and Dorothy's and took them out for dinner. It was nice Chase was home and could come along. He had just turned 21 so we had a little celebration. We stayed at Brian's so we culd visit everybody.  

Our next stop was to Mystique and Eric and their family.  Averie , Ashtyn and Hunter opening some present we gave them.

My son Bob had gotten this Santa after Christmas last year thinking it could go outside. It sang and spoke and was only to be used inside. Lynda had it in her house this year but was not thrilled with it. So Bob gave it to Mystique and the children really like it.

Hunter is really into dinosaurs. He knows all their names and everything about them.

Averie had gotten makeup from Santa and is loved putting it on. Maybe a little young for that? She is a natural beauty.

We went back the next day and helped make terraniums. They all had gotten kits for Christmas. They had to paint the figures and then put in the earth, seeds, and stones. Larry helped Averie.   

I had helped Hunter and Mystique had helped Ashtyn. 

Hunter's dinosaur one.

Ashtyn's unicorn and castle.

They love to rough house with Grandpa.

We had given them the hopper ball. It is fun outside but I am not sure about playing with it inside.

With all the toys they got for Christmas the boxes were the best.
