On a visit to Arlington we celebrated an early Christmas at Lea Ann and Steven Post’s. Also there was Annette Wiemann and Paul and Bev. Kai and Nora had a sleepover with Nina and Sara which they had been eagerly anticipating for a week. Enjoy the pictures.
Deer by the Lake

Nora and her new sweater.
Nora wearing the sweater that Ellen knit for Ben when he was young. What you can't tell from the picture was that it was about 5 degrees with a brisk wind. I was freezing but Nora didn't seem bothered.

An then the goofy picture
Flying, sreaming, super monkey
The big hit came from Bev's gift of flying slingshot monkeys. The house sounded like a jungle for the better part of an hour.
