Winter Break

We have enough pictures here for several post, but since that will never happen, here they all are at once. :)

Bert shoveling for the second time at 2 a.m. just before we left. The sidewalk snowplow made a pass just after he finished the drive way. Ah well, good exercise after watching the snow fall!
We left SF on the 22nd and made it back again in the wee hours of the 3rd. We decided that driving straight through was totally the way to do it. It seems like only a day when we switch off and sleep while the other guy drives.

James was trilled to see us. Or at least that was my interpretation :)
Ellie loving on Grandma.

Doctor's son teaching James the proper art of hand washing.


Ellie rocking the rolls. :)

Can't remember what that was all about...

Ah, finally Auntie Nina found a replacement 'model' for Bert's photographing!



James hung this one. I have no idea how it managed to hang that close to the edge of the branch. Did I ever mention how much I like being an Auntie?

Miss Ellie



Common scene in the morning.



Maybe I get a kick out of this cause I'm not Mama. :)

More good times...

Checking out her new Raggedy Ann



James and 'Bumpa' going for a ride.



He was pretty sure he could fit in here....

One night we painted little canvases. We could paint anything we wanted to. In the end we were going to draw numbers, and the person with 1 would get to pick first, and down the line. We never got that far but it was a ton of fun.
Can you pick who's is who's?





Lumpy, the glasses, and the necklace. This picture may resurface in a few years....




We had a ton of fun, thanks everybody!
