Before Christmas, the Hoppers came up from Livermore to Joe's place in Davis. Anna was there and the Normans dropped by from Sac. Here are Ethan and Amara dancing to Jingle Bells and the Normans learning to play Nertz-- a fast-paced card game that Joe usually wins.
Disneyland
Amara loved the princesses and looked like one herself sitting on the throne.
Here are Ethan and Alan looking on.
Never saw a bigger smile than this one on Amara when she played Jafar.
Here's Joe demonstrating the physics of moving bodies.
Ethan wanted to ride on the AstroRocket in the worst way. Here he's smiling, but it didn't last long when the machine started up, even with some encouragement from Kristina.
Even with all the sickness, we loved the Disneyland trip and were overjoyed that Amara and Ethan had a good time, along with the adults.
