Christmastime with Thomas

Pop and Bette spent the weekend with us two weekends ago. 

 Everyone enjoyed catching up.  Playing with toys...

 Telling funny stories..

 Lots of hugging...

 Dad helped Santa put together a few toys...

 This is Thomas saying "cheese" for a picture.

 Thomas sneaked into a gift or two..

 He is loving his train from Aunt Carolyn.

 Thomas recruited some help opening the bigger gifts.

and then construction began.

 Thomas hosted his first dinner guest.

 We were all stunned by Thomas's coordination.  He recieved a bat/ball set from his cousins and "off the bat" (no pun intended) could hit the ball across the room.

Why are our visits always so short?! Come back Bette and Pop.
