Christmas

Santa Claus with Carey, Cindy and Kim Jefferson...circa Christmas 1975?  Could it be as last as 1976?  We were either 2, 3 and 4 or 3, 4 and 5...hard to tell.

Family Christmas

 Jack-15 (jr), Daniel-15(freshman), Ben-14 (8th grade), Macey-13 (7th), Maggie-11(6th), Josh-8 (almost 9-3rd) Granny - 29 or so...

 oh, the hair, Jack, the hair...

 Jack is excited about something!  In the background, Jason checks to see how Lanny is going while Uncle Dave tries to play it cool

 Ben gets the shoes he wanted and Daniel is confused as to how it is possible that both his grandmothers' bought him the EXACT SAME sweatshirt AND t-shirt from Hollister

 The girls and Granny open presents

 Josh delves in while uncles Jason and Dave just keep piling the presents up to be opened "later"

 Grandpa Howard knocked it out of the park this year by making ornaments for each kid to match one of their current passions...Maggie -hockey, Macey-soccer, Josh-football, Jack-mountain biking, Daniel-tennis, Benny-baseball.  Such very, very neat  treasures.

Games by Glads

 Josh won at Ticket to Ride!!!

Josh DID NOT win at Monopoly Deal.

Separately, over the holidays, Josh lost at Ticket to Ride in an epic game changer where he ended up with negative points and was lapped (twice) by his take-no-prisoners-in-Ticket-to-Ride father.  Josh experienced one of those uniquely Josh moments where he was both laughing and crying at the same time, both emotions fighting fiercely for dominance and neither getting ahead...we sure love this kid.
