On Christmas Day, Carla hosted a lovely family gathering and dinner here at World Headquarters. Most of her family was there; my two daughters and my granddaughter were out-of-town or out-of-pocket in various aunt-niece pairings.
Of course the stars of the event were the twins, Landon and Ashton, and their cousin Ethan (born exactly one month later):

Here we see about 80% of the group of the group relaxing after dinner and watching the Dallas Cowboys illustrate several important lessons about football (do not depend on a kicker who misses about 25% of his kicks; do not do silly illegal things, like taking your helmet off while still on the field after pulling off an amazing touchdown).

Here's the key to the players:
Wesley (Russ and Kelley's youngest son) was outside at the time, flying a really large battery-powered radio controlled helicopter. It was dark, but the craft had quite elaborate running lights. I elected not to cover the fight, owing to focusing challenges.
He also got a smaller one, which we see here in indoor flight:

I hope everyone in OPF had a very nice holiday season.
Best regards,
Doug
