Dad and Des wake up early (well Des normal, dad early) to begin baking pretzels

Ella doesn’t know what she’s missing out on yet

All bundled up and ready to go to great-grandma Jan’s house. Des also sporting dad’s special, once-a-year Christmas scarf.

While most of the toys at great-grandma’s house are several decades old (standing the test of several Meysenburg generations), Des is fascinated with newer Hoberman Sphere. Could also be because he’s up two hours past his bedtime.
