Christmas 6: With Siblings and Kids

Late Christmas night,

Dave & Kara & Asher arrived.

Hence, our Christmas day began the next morning,

 over breakfast.

 We talked all together, lazy and slow.

There were kitchen preparations together for late-in-the-day events, 

but after a while the littlest one awoke 

and they traveled on over to see Great-Grandma.

 I settled down to wait for returns and arrivals,

and for the togetherness to begin.

[Asher says:

  Give those presents,

 to me!]

[The most grateful

 and excited little girl,

 plays with her gifts--

 and includes the ones she loves the most--

 immediately.]

 [She also helps the other little one,

 enjoy his new book too.]

 [This is Asher's declaration face,

 as he tells his parents what he received from Grandma and Grandpa.]

 [And this is how he shows his appreciation,

 for a gift that is larger than he...]

Even with more gifts to go, 

we settled around the table for Christmas Jambalaya.

I sat back, and soaked it in.

Precious time, with siblings and kids.
