Beach & Basketball (December Wrap-up)

After our Christmas Boat Parade Party with friends, we enjoyed a few more nights together as a family:

Our monthly visit to the Alzheimer’s Residents at a group home near ours.  Sarah has memorized several Christmas carols, so everyone sang along while she played… it was fantastic:

I’m trying to get back into shape, so I was more than happy to plunk down $3 for an IKEA safety vest for my early morning runs:

Takes me back to my good ole’ health and safety engineering days in New Bedford, Massachusetts (1998, wearing steel toed boots and safety glasses in our construction work trailer):

Enough of Memory Lane.  Back to the present.

Josh went on stage at church at our Christmas Eve service to participate in a fun little game, the “Big-O-Matic.”  You put in a small version of a toy, and bigger version comes out:

1.  Small candy cane was put in the Big O Matic, and huge candy cane came out.
2.  Small teddy bear – repeat
3. Small toy razor scooter - See what happens. (That kid’s mother should have taught him how to say thank you.)
