Christmas in RI
| Next stop- Kingston, RI to see George's
sisters and parents.. First, we eat. Every year, we have "Italian night" which is where we exchange presents, etc... Early that day, we all go up to da Hill in Providence and buy tons of Italian food. Then we come home and start eating. Here's Sharon and Tom's dad prepping tonight's feast. |

George's sister Audrey teaching her kids how to play with their food... |
| Eventually, we all sit down and eat. Here we are, just hanging out, after dinner. |  |
 |
George's sister Sharon and Donald after dinner. We're going to have to work on her to get her to keep her eyes open during pictures. |
| After dinner, presents. George finally got to give someone a chemistry set. Actually, he got 2 newphews and 1 niece chemistry sets. Now they can learn to blow stuff up (or maybe Tom can...) |

 |
George has to read the directions to Daniel... this will never work... |
| ... but uncle Tom (the chemical engineer at
Pfizer) steps in to save the day- he knows exactly how to build slime... [ed- this is tom's famous "...want some candy, little girl?..." look] |

 |
The kids set up their new racetrack. This only took 2 manhours of adult intervention to make it work... |
 |
Audrey and Tom's kids Caley and Daniel- hanging out. |  |
| Audrey and her crazy buddy Sue... this pair is real trouble...! |  |
 |
George's other sister- Pam- with husband Bob and Joseph, their son. The boys seem to be enjoying themselves... |
