Christmas, squared


Ben got to enjoy several iterations of Christmas this year. At first, he seemed unimpressed, but by the end he really got into the holiday swing of things!

First, we celebrated at home a few days early.






Then, we were off to Ohio, where Ben got to see his friends Maya and Livi. Ben thought they were very awesome.






Ben enjoyed the Ohio snow. He especially liked gathering some on his shoes and then kicking it off against the brick wall. Over and over.


"Hey Uncle Rick, you're in my favorite present-opening chair."


B
en was crowned prince of Christmas and bestowed a plentitude of spoils.


The clear winner was a Mickey Mouse Firetruck. We will have the siren song stuck in our heads for the indefinite future.
Ben got the hang of present unwrapping once it became clear that there was a purpose to all that paper-ripping labor.


Ben's grandma made her gnocchi for Christmas dinner, which were like lovely clouds. Yum!


Tony and Rick helped.



A Christmas feast! Ben asked to get down from the table after thirty seconds to go back to playing with the Mickey Mouse Firetruck, but the rest of us did some serious eating.
