Christmas with Jonathan's family was a huge reunion! This is the first of probably three posts, this one being from the night we spent at David's house.
Just re-meeting the cousins, a little tentative.
The kids warming up due to TJ's warmth, Marissa's silliness, and the lightsaber they let X play with.
By the next morning, everyone was right at home. (X is not in this picture because he's knee-deep in TJ's toy bin.)
Happy husband.
Marissa introduced X to something amazing: the Wii!
The day was spent leisurely, and ended by visiting Candy Cane Lane, the local neighborhood where every house was crazily decorated with lights and piped-in music and 6 to 20-feet tall inflatables. I heard that the blocks that participated got a discount on their electricity bill... I can't even imagine! Admittedly, I'd been a little concerned about the rabbi's-kid's-at-Christmas discrepancy, but the boys took it all in stride. They saw no conflict at all between admiring the pretty trees and saying the hamotzi before Christmas Eve dinner. It's just life in their world, I guess!
