Monday morning was still a bit of a Christmas celebration because Xmas had fallen on a Sunday. Against the protest of Jane's sleeping arm Ben Sarah Suzanne and I (in this self portrait) make our way to breakfast where this woman wondered (for her daughter) if my Heinz shirt was an Xmas gift. I didn't have the heart to tell her that I just got lumps of coal. This was my breakfast before we went back and packed (but not carefully enough to avoid leaving a book behind) and made our way to Norma's where the rabbis were juxtaposed with the Santas and Ben decided to take some background photos before capturing the views and some decorations not to mention the assembled and the Bnai Brith calendar with the incorrect dates before he did experiments to see how a light shines on a wooden floor and teddy bear and rabbi pictures before a few experiments and this picture of Sarah back and of my face before the pattern shot and the picture of the package the girls brought as Jane and Ben talked to Audrey (aka Butterfly) and then captured part of the tree and more fabric before coming back to Audrey and then exploring the flora and views from Norma's once more After a look down the hallway we made our way to the elevator for one last collection of group pictures before it was wheels up time.

Once on the turnpike, we endured the long line at Sbarro's to get through the people to the pizza that would fuel the rest of the car ride as the gang in the back seat did some truly experimental photography.

leading to more Blair witching from Jane and this final picture of Ben before the DARE book was considered.

Back in Princeton, the menorah was set and Ben Jane Suzanne me (in self portrait) and Sarah admired the decorations Josephine had hung as a few dark pictures and this light one set the stage to start lighting candles and then to take this family photo before Ben showed off his new game Jane showed off one present as Suzanne handed her another that Jane could display and I was excited about my seater as was Sarah about her shirt and we were warm together for the rest of the evening
