Visit to Turkey: Christmas on the 22nd

 On Saturday afternoon, I took the Fish Sticks down to Ulus, the old part of town. They got to see authentic Turkey down there.

In the evening, we had hang out time at home. Here is Papa challenging his nephew to a smurf dance contest on the wii. Nephew won.

 We opened gifts from each other. Simple gifts, but from the heart. Cousins used allowance money to buy each other things. I had gotten them all a stocking made of a Turkish rug and filled it with goodies like Turkish delight.

 It is perhaps one of my favorite memories of their trip. 17 folks all under one roof, enjoying the chance to be together.
