Christopher had to try on the helmet, also.

Christopher, Nicholas and Rod gave Sandy a TV for Christmas. Her current one is an elder statesman and they felt she needed to move into the 21st century with technology. I got her french fingerless mittens...not quite as impressive.
Probably the most impressive present was Christopher's gift to Nick...an official Michigan football helmet. they both agreed that it was REALLY heavvy to wear and that it is a "piece of art".
Any time someone opened a present he came over to see whether it might either be a toy or something edible. Sandy got him a bird that makes chirping noises rather than a squeak...it made him nervous and when someone would activate the chirp he would run and stand behind one of us. Beautiful, isn't he? Just got his hair done and has his winter coat so looks especially nice.
Mo's funniest reaction was to some foot protectors when he is running with Sandy or Nick. He didn't know what to do with them and walked around high stepping. Should have videotaped it.
I hope your holiday was all you ere are a few photos. Mo's presents are always the most fun. Here he has his kerchief for the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 3rd.

Annelisa was so funny. She look one bite out of each cookie so no one would take her cookies by mistake.
When I talk about the family I always make sure to mention, Mo (short for MoMo which means dumpling in Nepalese). He has just turned 7 years old and as spoined as any dog we have ever had. He likes to hang out with his pack on Sundays. They have all had obstacle training and one of the moves is to get the dog to jump up on a table and stay. That is how AnneMarie was able to get them all up on the picnic table at the top of Powell Butte. He is the little Keeshond. He sees himself as the alpha dog and for the most part they let him do it.
