Dinner time

We enjoyed a fairly quiet day on Christmas Eve.  Margie and Ruli had arrived early in the morning after a 3-day travel delay and two long drives sandwiched around some long flights (watch “Planes, Trains and Automobiles” and you’ll get the idea).  Dinner was awesome (that seemed to be one of the themes of this trip) as Kyle and Sarah prepared pasta and several types of fish.

After dinner the boys each opened a small gift.  Daniel’s was a “Merry Oke” microphone that alters the voice.  David’s was an audio version of “Mad-Libs” in which he would answer questions (e.g., “Name a place”) and then the device would read a story with his words filling in the blanks.  These two things really helped fill in the entertainment void (that’s a joke – there was never an entertainment void!).
