Reviving an old tradition

When we were growing up, my parents were good friends with 2 other couples-the Page's and the Balun's.  Our families share many found memories together.  For many years we all got together on Christmas Eve.  As our families have grown and changed, getting together for the holidays has become more challenging.  This year, though, we were able to bring almost everyone back together for some fun. 

It all began with these 6... Left to right: Linda, Harry, Sharon, Stan, Paul, and Donna.

Some of the "kids"and a new addition... Left to right: Scott, Chris, Jonathin, and Tim.

Mom, Lesley, and Emma.

The "kids" of the "kids"... Left to right: Will, Hannah, Will, and Rachel.

It is a well known fact amongst our families that if you put our dad's together, there is not much that they can't build, fix, or put together.  For Christmas, we got an air hockey table.  George and my dad spent most of the day putting it together before everyone arrived.  However, reinforcements were necessary.  Before long, Dad, Paul, and Harry were busy at work.

How many grandpa's does it take to put together an air hockey table?
