23 Weeks and Counting: XMAS Blog Overload!!!

As you recall, we left off at Pre-Christmas in Rhode Island. Here's Benjamin enjoying his new car before heading off to the airport for Northern Virginia to see Grandma and Grandpa!

We stopped in to see Auntie Sheila, our long lost friend from Hawaii.

In carrying on an Adams Christmas-Eve (Day) tradition, we loaded on the Metro and headed downtown Washington D.C. to visit a museum. "Dad, what's a metro?"

"Grandpa, I love your hat, and I can't wait to see the museum..."

Auntie Heather and Benjamin sharing a Christmas morning dance.

Extreme Benjamin close-up! (Hat with droopy antlers)

Momma and her Boy.

"Auntie Jennifer thinks I am Superman reincarnate... Faster than a speeding bullet."

Benjamin being silly with Grandma, again.

Grandpa's Main Man.

"Grandpa, you make a mean green bean mush-blend!!"

Benjamin being silly with Auntie Jen at the annual Adams Open House.

"Grandma, read to me!!!"

Hannah Giambastiani (daughter of high school friend Jennifer Giambastiani) and Benjamin... Precious.

Sierra Rushing (daughter of high school friend and best-man at Greg and Erika's wedding - Brandon Rushing) and Benjamin. Holding on for dear life.

A little snow in Providence gave us "extended play" in Virginia, and gave us an excellent opportunity to visit with our friends. Dad and Benjamin with Melissa and Sierra Rushing.

The Benjamin spots a Griffin.... Steve (Greg's cousin) and Chrisitie Wells stopped through on their way to see Griffin's Grandma and Grandpa in New Hampshire.

You might see this picture from a different angle, on a different blog (Christie's camera at the ready)... two worlds collide.

The stare down... Griffin seems much longer in the trunk, but Benjamin is thicker in the neck, head, thighs.... etc. Griffin weighs in at about 18 pounds and Benjamin tips the scales at 24 pounds.

Mom with the two boys. Impossible to get one picture with both looking at the camera. So here's two pictures with each of them looking at the camera. Cut and paste in your imagination.
