We enjoyed a visit from our friends, the T. Family, the Saturday before Christmas. They were driving to South Dakota to celebrate with family and stopped to spend a few hours with us. Henry and Walter had anxiously awaited their arrival all week ("Is today the day?") and minutes after they got to our house, a chase was on. First one little boy with a gun came down the kitchen stairs and ran out to the stairway in the front entryway. He was followed by three other boys, one after the other, each carrying a gun...and possibly a light saber. They were trying to escape from Ryan, who came down the steps last and followed the same path. As soon as he disappeared out the kitchen door, the others started emerging from the stairway again. Around and around they went until they needed a break.
After lunch, they set up a high jump...

And of course, Star Wars play was bound to happen at some point. Enacting a major battle between 2 Darth Vaders, Bobba Fett and a gun slinger from the Old West.

The time went much too quickly and before we knew it, we were eating supper so they could get back on the road again. While the parents enjoyed dinner, we heard fits of laughter coming from the kitchen and a few moments later the girls came to join us - there was too much "boy humor" going on in the kitchen...I guess burping etc. is the ultimate in funny with the right group of friends!

We always enjoy our time with the T. Family and hope we get to spend some more time with them soon.
