Christmas morning 2025

As mentioned in my previous post, I was not feeling well on Christmas Eve. I took a home test on Christmas Day and was positive for Influenza-A. December tends to be a rough month on me. Thankfully, by this point, all the planning was done, and that was left was just execution and pure fun. We didn't go anywhere and half of us stayed in our pajamas the whole day. I really love this crew and enjoyed spending this holiday with them. Here's a collection of photos from the gift opening. Not pictured: watching newly released episodes of the Taylor Swift docuseries and Stranger Things and playing a lot of Mario Kart World.

Pretty excited about my own gifts!

Christmas Eve 2025

We had a nice lead up to Christmas, hosting some good friends for a Peruvian chicken dinner on Thursday (completely unphotographed!), and then having Linda join us for Christmas Eve. We went to church and had our traditional tamale dinner.

 

Afterward, there was some Scrabble:



And the Charlie Brown Christmas special:


We did not take our annual walk around the neighborhood to see the lights. I was not feeling well, so that may have had something to do with it.

Winter formal 2025

One of her friends took this shot. The dance was held at Union Depot in downtown St. Paul. Also note, she got her braces off! (I can tell she is wearing her retainer here, although it doesn't impact her beautiful smile much.)

Lego robotics challenge 2025

Omri had a big event last weekend when he and his team competed in a robotic challenge.

 

Here's a look at the robot:


It wasn't a big year for winning... but they are a young team.


Omri drew the comic on the poster board you see here. It was used in a presentation to some judges.


Closer up look:


Crackin' open a cold one between rounds:
 

Tabulating the score:


Way to go, Omri!
