Elaine
is delighted by the contents of her stocking. Wesley gets
right
down to the important business of eating chocolate. (12/25/15)
|
 |
 |
Oh, come ye all on Christmas morn',
and hear the soft sweet whispers of the Christmas orange.
(12/25/15)
|
 |
Box games. (12/25/15)
|
 |
Ha ha! (12/25/15)
|
 |
 |
Delight and happiness.
(12/25/15)
|
 |
A whole new world on the floor.

Uncle
Devin and Auntie M. try to figure out the complex contraption we gave
them for Christmas -- the best present of the day by far, if you ask
Wesley. (12/25/15)
|
 |
"Yellow
one flies!" The adults are concerned by how the helicopter
ricochets off of the walls and ceiling, but Wesley is thrilled.

Elaine builds a fort to protect
herself during this indoor snowball fight. (12/28/15)

Another evening of Christmas
festivities! (12/28/15)
|
 |
The
kids and their cousins went to Build-a-Bear to redeem their Christmas
gift cards. After much deliberation, Wesley picked out a lion
with a brushable mane, dragon costume, and backpack to hold its brush
and outfit. After much less deliberation, Elaine picked out a
Golden Retriever with sparkly red bows. (12/29/15)
|
 |
A flower garden. (12/29/15)
|
 |
The
flower garden was converted into a table and chairs for the lion and
green tiger. They are eating cake. Eventually,
their tea
party was disrupted by a dragon flying by. (12/29/15)

Portal Park with Oma Suzy. (12/30/15)
|
 |
Oma
helped Wesley with his climbing, but then she turned into a scary leaf
witch monster that chased Elaine around the play structures. Her
only weakness was leaves, so Elaine had to throw dried leaves at her.

 |
Visiting
the frogs at Christmas in the Park. Elaine pointed out that an
important frog was missing -- Kermit. (12/30/15)
|
 |
Elaine and I explained bowling to Wesley. (12/31/15)
|
 |
He caught on quickly and loved it: you pick up a heavy ball and throw it. (12/31/15)
|
 |
He
didn't care at all about the pins. All he cared about was
throwing the heavy ball, so every turn was a big win. (12/31/15)
|
 |
Balloon poodles. (12/31/15)
|
 |
It didn't take long for Wesley to decide to convert his poodles into swords. (12/31/15)
|
 |
The force is strong with this one. (12/31/15)
|
 |
It's a trap! (12/31/15)
