the traditions of christmas start on the 24th. mom cooked an amazingly fancy meal, we wore our crowns from the poppers, had a christmas program and some played with their napkin rings...
christmas morning of course was filled with lots of present opening. we brought grandma some boston items - including a lobster hat.
dad was the lucky one this year to get a quilt made via mom.
and keeping with tradition we talked around the lafayette reservoir. this time we even had an ornament to put on the tree. i was glad to have john back this year to jump with me.
and my favorite tradition - bowling! grandma even got in the action and as long as she had a steady hand she bowled quite well.
that evening we headed to palo alto to see some forrest family, eat another great meal via katie and wished niece madelyn a happy birthday.
a very full, yet perfect christmas day.
