Christmas weekend

I can't even beleive Christmas has now come and gone... our tree is starting to shed some of its needles, most of the cookies have been eaten, wrapping paper is stored away for another year and the radio has stopped playing Christmas music all much too soon for my taste... yet sorting through all of these pictures I'm reminded what a special time of year this truly is. 

We had such a fun filled four days - Evan's brother Travis, Francis, Seivert and Felton were all here visiting from Toronto while Lucie, Quinn and Luna came over from Seattle.  Combined with both of our parents we had almost everybody home, except for Janie, Josh, Emma and Lily who were all very missed. 

Elise LOVED all the wrapping paper, colors, noise and mess and we had a wonderful first Christmas with her.  Thank you family and friends for making this holiday so special.

Luna and Elise are old buddies by now and Elise squeals in delight at her.

Elise discovered the plastic layer under the carpet and found it to be delicious:)
