The boys come home!

The boys made it back from Israel bearing gifts!

Empty 

 because you can't bring liquid on the plane, right?  

But an Israeli Fanta bottle is pretty cool!

There was jewelry for each of the girls and Jill too.

Al had a necklace for me too and also a Christmas ornament, because we get 1 each year!   And how neat to have one from Bethlehem, right?

Sunday was Adam's birthday, so after church, we celebrated!

Birthday pie for the birthday boy!

Just what he wanted!

Jet lag was setting in.  Adam went on to bed very early, but Al didn't want to do that.  He thought he'd get over jet lag faster by trying to adjust to the schedule.

Jill tried to wake him up with some music.

We finally shook him and got him involved in an Uno game.

Then we played table football.  You make a "football" by folding paper into a triangle.  You flick it across the table to the other side.  The goal is to have it stop with it partially off the table.  Score like regular football if it does!

If you make a point, you try to make a field goal!

If it stops on the table, or goes off the table, it is the other players turn.

Jill was clearly the winner -

SHOWOFF!

 Pictures with the grandchildren the night before we had to leave as we would be getting up at 4AM to make the 12 hour trip home!  What a marvelous time we had.  Or as my mother would have said, "It was tremendous!"
