xmas at last!


Chris and Kate and kids were finally able to get out of Duvall and make the trip to Banks, having been snowed in at xmas, then kept at home on new years day by flooding.  So they were finally able to open the gifts which had been sitting around here collecting dust.  On Saturday morning, Kate's mom came by for a visit, bringing Kate's 2 nephews.  Then Judy came with her 2 grandgirls and grandboy.... so there was a grand gathering of cousins having  (what else?) a grand time!  We opened gifts, had lunch, Maisy got to choose the bestest brownie in the pan, Chris became the major attraction with the kids.  He gave rides to each of them on his shoulders, then they ganged up on him and provided weight resistance for his push-ups!  he stood up to the challenge quite well!!
