Christmas

Better late than never! We are catching up on photos and blogs during Santa Barbara's "Rain Event" today (yes, they actually call it that).

This year (well, last year technically) we went to Redlands for Christmas, where we were joined by Dan and Jen (back from their year long trip, hooray!), great-grandma W, great-aunt Judy, cuz-uncle Jeremy, and my parents. Lots of people and lots of fun! Nory loved her presents but she loved the wrapping paper just as much. She did pretty well, better than the last time we were in Redlands. I was afraid she would have stranger anxiety, but on the contrary, seemed to LOVE all the attention which gave Dan and I much appreciated break. Nory learned, during our visit, that blowing raspberries is VERY funny and the longer she did it, the more people would be rolling on the floor laughing. She would just keep going until her face turned purple! It was interesting to see her "performing" for an audience.

Many presents, but what could be better than this one?

Lots of time with lots of family and family friends!

Priceless... we managed to snap this photo of the whole family. So glad we didn't all get together and not get a picture! Merry Christmas everyone!
