Christmas was coming, so we got into the car and headed west
before the snows came. On the way there, we stopped at Sideling Hill
where we took the obligatory phone booth picture
PC230001
and this picture of the Big Boy status
PC230005
Our server, Majueska
PC230002
was nice enough to deliver up these 2 doses of their grub
PC230003
PC230004
On arriving in Pittsburgh, we went to More's where the food was better
as was the company. Jane was stunned by the speed of Sarah's hand
PC230006
Suzanne was her usual cheerful self
PC230007
Milt was ready for his meal
PC230008
as were Norma
PC230011
and Sarah
PC230012
Benjamin had already started his roll
PC230013
and David was particularly happy to not be driving
PC230014
We were pleasantly surprised to see Hillary
PC230009
and Lester Smith
PC230010
at the next table.
We began Christmas day with some out of focus pictures of Suzanne and Sarah
PC250015
Milt
PC250016
and Norma
PC250017
at the Gespass'es before heading to Sally's
PC250018
for the main event.
George was there
PC250019
as was Suzanne
PC250020
Jane and Katie posed for group pictures
PC250021
PC250022
which caused Jane to sprout extra arms
PC250023
to the amusement of Adele and Milt.
PC250024
This caused generations of the Auerbach women to congregate on the couch
PC250025
PC250026
to watch Sarah think
PC250027
and Sam rejoice
PC250028
because he knew Robert was coming soon.
PC250029
PC250030
Again, Sam rejoiced
PC250031
as Sarah and Katie
PC250032
played cranium.
The next day, we prepared for our departure. Milt
PC260033
engaged Suzanne
PC260034
in conversation while Srah and Jane compared heights
PC260035
PC260036
Once in the car, Jane did experiments with CD cover photography
PC260037
PC260040
PC260041
and random shots of the car's interior
PC260038
PC260039
PC260042
PC260047
until we stopped at this gas station
PC260045
and had to have a picture of this sign
PC260043
PC260044
PC260046
We concluded our photo session with a montage of photos of Sarah
cleaning the windows in preparation for her driving experience
the next day
PC260048
PC260049
PC260050
PC260051
PC260052
PC260053
PC260054
PC260055
PC260056
including these that are meant to be artistic
PC260057
PC260058
PC260059
PC260060
