Merry Christmas Eve!

We enjoyed having our Grands here to celebrate Christmas.

You might have noticed that we have a new Grand...his name is Jonas and he is from Belgium, he is spending the year here with Andy, Jen and Adam...he is a delight.  He told me that in Belgium you spend Christmas with your Grandparents...it is a bit different for him since his Grandfather died.

He is very tall and thin and speaks French but his English has improved since he got here.   He is a tad camera shy...but was a good sport!  We taught him how to play spoons!  A fairly wild game  was played!

Noah and Adam
Maddie and Savannah
Miss Paige was in Florida enjoying sunshine and deep sea fishing, we missed her.  

These children light up our lives.

Such wonderful grands, and a visitor who seems to fit right in. Maddie is growing more round as she goes towards her second baby's birth. When is it expected? :-)

I am sure you had a wonderful time with this crew! How fun to explore the celebrations of another country.

Jonas seems to fit right in--which is good. He must miss his family over the holidays. Everyone looks great. Exciting to have another grandchild, too!! Won't be long. Merry Christmas! :)

It's great that the grandchildren come back for a celebration.

How wonderful to have most of your Grandchildren with you for Christmas plus an "extra". I miss the days when we had a houseful of foreign exchange students for most holidays.
Wishing you and Far Guy a wonderful Christmas Eve!
Blessings,
Betsy

How nice that Jonas can spend Christmas with family, even if it's not HIS family. I'm sure he loves being part of the fun. ( Spoons is a hilarious and wild game, isn't it!!)
Merry Christmas to you and Far Guy and all the best in the new year.

I would say Jonas lucked out in being placed with such a great extended American family.
