Since my last post, Georgia and I have been holed up at home while her foot heals from surgery. We had to be a bit creative with Christmas gifts this year since running from store to store just wouldn't do. For the most part, it worked out pretty well. Last Christmas we added 2 "Mexicans" to the family. Gerardo and his son with Brianna, Bruno. This year, Aaron joined us from Ethiopia and Rod, Jacqueline and Celina just returned from China with Charlie. Last year, Bruno was only 14 months old, so this year, with 3 new little guys running around (Bruno and Aaron at 2 and Charlie at 3), we were looking forward to the excitement being turned up a notch. It was great!!! My facebook friends can see more pictures of the occasion, but here are a few. Hope you enjoy. Oh, the Christmas ornaments I made for the "grandkids" were penguins. I hated to resort to that because I'm old enough that penguins just aren't symbols of Christmas, but my originality was limited this year. We actually found the "pattern" for the penguins on the back of the exam room door at Christie Clinic on Windsor when we had our last visit with Georgia's podiatrist. Cell phones with cameras can be wonderful at times. Also I made stepstools for the 3 little guys and "train tables" with bins to store toys. We were blessed with a really white Christmas. In fact, we celebrated on Dec. 24 and it snowed pretty much all afternoon and evening at our house.
