Happy Holidays '23-'24

Both boys are home for the holidays!  We celebrated by heading to our favorite restaurant, El Mezcal. It goes by a different name now, but it has been our favorite since the boys were tiny, so we get to call it what we want.

Poor Mema and Grandpa got Covid just before the holidays, so we delayed our usual Christmas Eve trip to their house till New Year's Eve.  Here is Conner getting cool Chuck Taylors on Christmas Day.

Mom had a busy holiday season as the Director of the Phoenix Gallery.  She started in the position last November, so this was her second holiday season as the boss.  It was a big success, but also very busy.

Christmas dinner with Grandma and the extended Marsh clan.  Nice to have the whole crew together, and there was a new addition too:  a sweet little puppy that Alex is holding in the front row.

A crazy tradition after the presents are opened: the kids get in a circle and try to unroll a ball of saran wrap that is filled with candy and gifts.  Conner is pictured doing the unraveling while Carson tries to roll doubles and take the ball.

 Conner helped Uncle Ted do some super cleaning of a rental home and was rewarded with steak dinner and some quality time with their ducks. The boys are home until mid January, then it is back to college for both of them.  Happy 2024!
