On New Year's Eve we celebrated Christmas with Great Grandpa. It was very nice to see family that we don't get to see very often. Great Grandpa had a pretty good day. After a while he wanted to go back to his room, though, so we had to get him to open his presents before he left :)
Always a Tiger's fan :)
I think his favorite gift was that little panda :)
Great Grandpa and 3 of his kids...and the panda
The panda showed up in our family picture too :) At least the panda is looking at the camera...Eli is playing shy...or stubborn. Not sure which.
The kids went to look at the fish.
Randee got them to make fish faces.
Not bad, Caleb!It is always nice to see Great Grandpa. The past few years as we gather for Christmas it has been hard to see Grandpa get older. I will always remember him reading the Christmas story each year-his voice so strong and sure. I know it is a gift to be able to spend time with this wonderful man of God. These times with family are amazingly special.
And so 2011 ends...with family together. Can't think of a better way to spend the last day of 2011!
