<p>I have three daughters and twenty-five grandchildren, with two more to be born this year. It's fun, at least for the first hour to an hour and a half. Old people get tired out by all the activity, the conversations, the racing about, and so forth. I wouldn't miss it for the world.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I have already posted recent images from my oldest daughter's household here, and from my youngest daughter's here, so here are the ones from the home of my middle daughter, Alexandra, and her husband, Aaron.</p>

<p>Most people have heard the line from one of the Tolkien films, "What about <em>second</em> breakfast?" Well, my middle daughter's household is on what is called the Old Calendar. This calendar is used by some Orthodox Christians, while the majority follow the Gregorian calendar, which is used generally everywhere. More on this <a href="https://www.britannica.com/science/Julian-calendar">here</a>. The upshot is that we celebrated Christmas on December 25 with our youngest daughter, but on January 10 with our middle. </p>
