Israel's Nobel winner shares joy with family

Laureates often bring their families along as they bask in Nobel glory, but few have entourages as large as that of economics prize winner Robert Aumann. The Israeli-American is bringing his wife, five children and 21 grand children to Stockholm, Nobel Foundation spokeswoman Annika Ekdahl said.

Aumann shared this year's economics prize with American Thomas C. Schelling.

"The Nobel week", includes lectures by the laureates, science seminars, concerts - one featuring renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma - and a white-tie banquet dinner at Stockholm's City Hall.

The prizes were established in the will of Swedish industrialist Alfred Nobel. They are always presented on Dec. 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death in 1896.
