Merry Christmas! Colin and Marissa over in the morning Saturday for Christmas. Sue fixed bacon and eggs and eggnog bread.

After opening presents and visiting, the kids headed off to other family festivities. Sue and I went for a brisk walk around the neighborhood, and then watched the first two hours of Jane Austin's Pride and Prejudice (1995). Nora came by to wish us well and to exchange gifts with Sue. I got a late start on fixing my mom's recipe of Beef Stronogof which was marvelous. Movie of the night was Wall Street - Money Never Sleeps (2010)

Sue got an early start to the breakfast. Actually.... to the coffee!

Colin and Marissa are right on time and ready to go!

Not ready for a picture....

Much better!

A bright Christmas Day smile to cheer us all up.

Two smiles for the price of one picture.

Colin obviously thrilled with the socks that we gave him. Come on, Colin.... everybody needs socks!

Yes: bigger than a bread box! I had a hell of a time hiding the artist portfilio I had got for her.

This is Marissa being content.

Heading off to other gatherings.

Look who got left behind....

Sa-plize!
