We were able to see our whole family again, but not at the same time. We set out on December 15 for a visit to Vermont where we experienced quintessential New England beauty but also a 70 degree drop in temperatures from Tucson. Still, it was so good to see the girls again and to catch up with all their new activities.
 |
| We had an early Xmas by the fire. |
 |
| The girls sit still sometimes. |
 |
| Mostly, they are lovers of all things winter like their parents. |
 |
| We love the ski boots with Binky. Then we moved on to Newton MA for Xmas with the Inadas. The temperatures warmed a little, but not up to Tucson standards. |
 |
| Susie made an amazing dinner for all of us on Xmas Eve. |
 |
| Then we put out snacks for Santa. |
 |
| Santa does it again!! |
 |
| How we enjoyed spending Xmas with this happy family. |
Jessica and Kit had all the Tieulis for Xmas this year, so we joined them soon after for Kit's 40th birthday celebration. Then the parents set off for a vacation in warm Arizona.
 |
| The boys had grown so much since the summer. |
 |
| We got to see all that Santa had brought them, including a Monopoly game. |
 |
| We had great fun walking with them to the bus stop with Millie Grace |
 |
| The birthday boy and his better half. |
