Early Christmas 2018

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!
