Goofin' for the Camera

"Come on, guys, I need a few new shots
of you to send to Yia Yia and Papou."

At 12 and 14 years old, it's hard to get our sons to
stop and pose for photographs.


Taa-daa!

I guess these are more reflective than anything else.

Christmas Day Comes to a Close.




Rena, Basil and Eva.

We watched movies. 
"Tortured" Basil with Mamma Mia!
and a Bollywood flick,
Bride and Prejudice.

But he enjoyed the cheesy movie,
Do You Wanna Dance?, 
about a non-Greek dancer set to do
community service at a Greek church
with a hockey-lovin' Priest.

Lucas and Reese




Reese and Lucas.
Born four days apart.



I think the first photo of them together
was taken when they were maybe a week or two old.



Sigh.  They're growing too fast.

Basil's Famous Chili


Yum!

Gran's Scavenger Hunt

This tradition started years ago,
when Gran left a clue to where she put the boys'
Christmas gift in an ornament on our tree. 
Over the years, it has grown into
a full-fledged hunt, including clue-solving and
song and poem composing.





Found it!
It's a foot-controlled piano!





Cappuccino came to check it out...



and played a few notes before she wandered off.

Thanks, Gran!

Christmas Morning 2009





Basil couldn't find the tape (although, of course, it was
in the Christmas supply basket in the Family Room.)
He wrapped this gift for Sammy in plastic wrap.

Stockings



Wonderful, thoughtful, filled stockings.
