More Celebrating

 

After a few days back at our apartment in Flower Mound we headed to the kids' place in Richardson on Christmas morning to exchange gifts and say hi to Brooks' parents who had spent the night there before heading back to Alabama.

 

Here's the star of the event engrossed in another present. He had already been up earlier with his parents and had opened the Santa part of his gifts and then we arrived later for more exchanges. The beautiful tree and the miniature village on the server reminded us of earlier holiday times when Leighanne was this age and totally focused on each new item.

 



The young man is really into the "Snap Circuits" learning toys and within an hour of this picture had assembled the complex wiring and structure of this "Rover" and had it firing projectiles around the room with his remote control. Wow!

Then a lot of great food and talk with Judith and Larry Whittington. Brooks is in the kitchen ... not sure why ... and above the table is Leigh's new chandelier that was a Christmas present ... neat!

And finally a pic that Brooks took of their new creature, a Cornish Rex cat named Winston that looks here like he is pretending to be "The alien that ate Metropolis!"

Super, super time and the weather cooperated nicely for a really great holiday time with all the relatives to relax and enjoy some good time and conversation together.
