Here are a bunch of pictures to document Madeline's first Christmas...

Can I open those presents yet?
Here...let me demonstrate all the steps that go into opening a present...
Step 1: Pull the bow off the package
...getting the bow off requires much concentration
Step 2: Taste the bow
Step 3: Begin with the paper
You need to tear into it like this
...or like this
Step 4: Most of the time it is necessary to taste the paper, too
Step 5: Pull the the gift out of the box
Step 6: Taste the gift
Step 7: Play with the gift
I'm very surprised with the interest Madeline took in opening the packages. She really did enjoy tearing into the paper!
With Grandma
and with Uncle Greg
Daddy finally got one gift he's been wanting
....for me to take a nap with him!
Brian, Greg and I headed out for a nice afternoon bike ride. It has been about a year and a half since I've been on the bike and it sure felt nice to get out and ride! We do miss Tucson with its wide bike lanes and sunny blue skies. After our ride, I felt like I earned my cranberry margarita and Brian and Kay cooked up a tasty meal to top off the day.
We hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!
