Colonel Alex at the table with the Mustard. Or something like that

During the eating of the roasted meat, we discovered that Alex really likes mustard.

Once again we had a weiner roast while Papa and Nana were here.

the roasting part.

A perfect picture of Nana felt for most of her visit.  She got a nasty flu bug on the 26th that stuck with her until after they got back to Manitoba. 
I included this picture of my Dad's hand that Matthew took.  I don't know why, but I like it.
  His hands look like my hands
Marshmallows for dessert
Alex sharing with Papa...
or not.

Trip to Vashon

Bear with me folks, I am still trying to finish the Christmas blog posts.

On the 28th we decided to go to Vashon for the afternoon.  Nana was not feeling well so she stayed home in a nice quiet house to get some rest.


The crew out on the ferry deck. It was a lovely warm sunny day ;)
I love this picture of Claire because she was too distracted by alex to realize that her picture was being taken so she really smiled a real smile.
