Happy New Year!

We celebrated in San Diego while at a retreat with several other friends and children. It was a beautiful time with lots of fresh air, new faces, long naps, story telling and exploration. Lots of love to all! We are looking forward to lots of firsts in the New Year. Love, Xander.

And then on to Malibu

We also stopped in Malibu for a night on the way to San Diego to visit Claudia, Sophia and Harrison. Luckily we were there to take a long walk on the beach. Look at Sophia and I together! We had fun playing before we were off the next day :)

Heading on our family vacation to Southern California

On Christmas Day we drove to Santa Barbara to visit with Jasper and Brook where we enjoyed a wonderful hike the next morning. I LOVE my Sherpani Pack. Thank you Auntie Natasha!!

My first Christmas!

Thank you everyone for your very generous, fun and thoughtful gifts! I had a wonderful time finally opening those beautiful packages that had been collecting under our tree.

Xander, the Christmas Elf!!

Lots of fun in my new high chair

It has been great sitting up to eat... and play. :)
