Since not everyone can be together at Thanksgiving this year, we decided to visit Jessica and her family for a weekend prior to Thanksgiving. Knowing that we would also not be able to spend Christmas together, we chose to bring along some of the Christmas presents too. Maia was excited about opening them.
Each grandchild always receives a US Mint proof set during the holidays. This was a tradition started originally on Kathie's side of the family, and we have enjoyed carrying the theme forward. The sets are a nice way to take note of the years in each life. The older grandchildren are already showing interest in looking at the sets, while the younger ones, unsurprisingly, typically just hand them to their parents and move on to the next, hopefully more fun, gift.
She liked her new PJs and wore them that night.
And she loved her new camera. Now she won't be as tempted to grab her mom's camera all the time, although I must say she has taken a number of interesting keeper pictures in recent months.
Nana taught her how to play her new Cootie game.
Leo is sure growing up. Two months old already, he has doubled his weight and is doing great. He had little to say about the gifting.
Jess and Mike asked me to take some photos of them as a family. Here are my favorites.
