Six Stechers

In Stecher Christmas tradition, we all gathered at the Olympic Club downtown for lunch, with the hope of walking around Union Square afterwards. The walk ended up being very brief and rainy, but we all had a great time inside during lunch. Before everyone arrived, Megan and Bridget both checked themselves out in the mirror - Bridget wanted to make sure her hair was sticking up just so. Check!

We had a private room, so the kids had a little room to run around and look out the windows.

For the sake of comparison, and cute pictures, here's Megan at her first Christmas lunch...

... and now. Time flies! But, she's still Daddy's girl!

Our smallest diners tried to order Reimer's fizzes, but they had to settle for water - maybe next time, Charlie and Bridget!

Megan proved she can (sort of) hold her own sitting next to cousin Jack. They spent most of lunch eating their bread and butter, zooming around under the table, playing with their little trinkets from Grandma, and of course, discussing the status of the greens on the Lakeside course.

Just for the record, I had to include this picture. Bridget does allow other people to hold her - occasionally. Nate won her over!We managed to get a couple shots with all of the kids (except Jack Sullivan and Abby - we missed you! If only I knew how to photoshop them in - someday!) Charlie meandered in for the second picture here.

Merry Christmas everyone!!
