| Son Ryan and daughter in law Ali, sharing a secret |
Our son and his family arrived on Boxing Day, after having a wonderful Christmas with their extended family.
 |
| Our smiley little Tristan |
They laughed as they told us that everyone just ignored them, and made a bee-line for the kids. Huh, sorry, were you just talking to me ... lol.

| Our daughter Alysha giving Tristan his gift |
Somehow, Teresa talked our son into staying overnight, rather than making the two hour long drive home.

| Teresa and Mya opening presents |
Teresa prepared an amazing supper of turkey, gravy, cabbage rolls, perogies, mashed potatoes, dressing, salad, pickles and olives, and etc., etc. Whew, it was hard work eating it all.

As usual, Santa out did himself, and everyone received a generous supply of gifts.

| Alysha teaching the kids how to dance with Santa |
Parting is always difficult, and it was with tears that we waved good-bye to the kids, and returned to our empty condo.

| Ryan surrounded in his loot |
Hopefully, we will get one more chance to see them before we fly back to Phoenix.
Only 5 more sleeps ...
