Grandma and Grandpa are on the road home back to Wisconsin, Stella Dot has run through her Christmas gifts, and I'm going on a diet.
It was a lovely holiday and we were so lucky to have Grandma and Grandpa here with us. Thanks for making the trip! And thanks to the generosity of family for the lovely gifts for Stella Dot, the luckiest girl in the world.
OK. That's the wrap up. Enjoy some pictures.

There was much craft related merriment with Grandma. In this picture, they are making graham cracker gingerbread houses. We've been snacking on them ever since.
Christmas cookies frosted by SDS, Grandma, and Mommy. Eaten by everyone.
These lovelies were made by SDS and Mommy. They are gone now. And, we can attest to their deliciousness.
Three pretty gingerbread houses and one super cutey girl in princess jammies.
Christmas dinner.
SDS donning her official handing-out-presents-jester's-hat. More Mardi Gras than Christmas, but whatever works.
Christmas present opening. SDS's big score is in the foreground -- princess dress up clothes. It was definitely a princess- and Hello Kitty-friendly holiday.
Grandma's getting tired.
Grandpa's still in the game.
