A Dutch Christmas

What are you viewing above is a poor quality group shot from my dad's Christmas in Lingelstown, PA. We celebrated at my uncle's church (he's the pastor in suit in the background). The adults partake in a game of white elephant (or Dutch Auction)- we each bring a gift and you pick numbers and, in order, either open up a new gift or steal somebody else's. Uncle Brian was kind enough to put a copy of "Puerto Rican Cookery" in the pile. Jim and I almost left with this fine piece of literature, but it was stolen by Nana.
Jax hijacked cousin Abbey's doll and stroller most of the day. She received food and dishes for her future kitchen set. Another bad group shot below, but cousin Parker and Uncle Mickey and Uncle Brian are in the background, so I had to include it.
Below is Grandpa holding Hillsy. I didn't realize how crazy looking that outfit was until it was already on her. D-.
And below is Jimbo himself. Admiring his wife's elegance & beauty, no doubt.

Cousin Con-man was also here, but I didn't get a pic. Hillary kept my arms full a most of the time. Jenny made her sour cream baked beans and Aunt Lynn brought sushi. Hillary got a tummy time mat from Aunt Jeannette and Uncle Mickey. She christened it yesterday and screamed bloody murder after 4 minutes.
