| Grandma got some great pictures of the gathering. From left, Jennifer, Emily, Stan, Melissa, Marcy and Max. Maybe someone will send one with Kathleen in it. |
Melissa and Emily are heading to Mazatlan for Christmas and New Year's with their adopted family there, so we had a brunch and early opening in Eden Prairie just for the two of them. Favorite gifts were a mini-fanny pack -- so you won't have the embarrassment of wearing a full-size one -- and a secret Spam can valuables bank, where no one would suspect you had hidden your money.A great first impression for a first date, Max volunteered. "You could say 'Here, I've got the bill. I have a bank in my little fanny pack.' Then you could take out the Spam bank and open it and pay the check!" He had us in stitches. Great pre-Christmas gathering.

| Shortly after my plea for a Christmas picture with Kathleen in it, this arrived. Thanks to Jennifer who knows how to operate the timer on her phone camera! |
