A fun outing and a homecoming

We went to the big city to do some Christmas shopping, and picked up our daughter along the way. Then we went to the airport to pick up our son who was visiting another of our daughters, who lives on the east coast.

We took some pics while we hung around the airport...

Our former hairpuller still loves hair, but she's good about just stroking it now.

He's growing up.  He's up to the 25th percentile on the Down syndrome growth chart, and he's now the height of a typical 2.5 yr old child.  He'll be 5 next month.

A typical pose for each of these girls...

Just hangin' around the airport...

She's always been lovable, and he's getting a lot more that way!

Well-- you've got to keep yourself busy...

And... the eagle has landed!

Then we went out for pizza. Yum!


It's really hard to get that many people to smile!

Seriously, it's really hard!  Especially when some people are wondering why all the monkeying around with a camera, when food should be appearing on the table!

After that, we went driving around, looking at Christmas lights and decorations, while the kids sang carols at the top of their lungs along with the radio. In an enclosed space--whew!!

The little kids learned that the appropriate response to a big light display is "Ooooh!" and "Aaaaah!" The girls joined in to this tradition with gusto, and Little Boy, well, he was probably impressed, too, but he didn't say so.
