Joyeux

Watching our baby opening her gifts this morning was amazing ... I don't know who was most excited! Enjoy a little for yourself.




The day was wonderful. We spent a family day together, exchanging a few gifts, playing and getting ready for Christmas dinner. Friends came and went throughout the day, including a few surprise visits. Some of the party took Anja for a stroll to the beach for castle-building, gymnastics and football. She was very happy. And she held up well without her nap, but an early bedtime seemed in order. As I held Anja while she drifted off, another friend arrived. When she heard voices, her eyes shot open. "Friends! Let's go say Hello! Come on Mommy..." She jumped up and out to see who was here. She was delighted to be clinking sippy-cup to glasses once more, each time saying, "Cheers!". We are so fortunate to have her.

We are also fortunate to have you... Merry Christmas. We hope yours was beautiful.
