There were lots of good visits over the last couple days. On Christmas Eve we had seven adults with musical instruments of various kinds and we showed Gia how to conduct. That was really funny. She was bouncing us around between fff and ppp like a yo-yo, but we kept up, though we were pretty much just making a lot of noise. I don't think I ever had that many adults so completely under my power when I was four years old. Yesterday we had 14 Waldons gathered with Grandma Jackie and Grandpa Marsh at Rossmoor. Lots of people there I hadn't seen in a while. We ate several meals worth of brunch and then had a very amusing gift exchange game, from which I emerged with an old-fashioned duck-on-a-bike toy. It's very amusing, but you'd have to see it for yourself. Lacey and I also spent some time with Mom, Monee and Pa (and we even got to see Monee and Pa waltz!). Here are some pictures, mostly of the big Waldon group but a few others, too. I've got to run off to work now.
