Finally, A Few Holiday Photos....

Cecilia spent most of the holiday season mesmerized by the Christmas tree.

Mesa, the dog, spent most of the season mesmerized by Cecilia.

Great Grandma Time!

Thanks everyone for the love and laughs!

A Few December Shots

We are happily adapting to winter in Portland.

Auntie Renae came to stay with us for the month. We are very thankful to her for providing Cecilia with awesome temporary nanny care.

Isabelle stopped by to make sure Renae was doing a superb job (and to drop off Cecilia's first Christmas present- thanks Isabelle!)

Cecilia takes a moment to ponder why her world turned white over night.
