Christmas

We enjoyed the holiday with our family in Western Washington.  Grandpa Mark came down from Anchorage and we all spent Christmas day at Grandma Bernie's beach.  The sun shone on us the entire weekend, it was beautiful and we felt very lucky. Oliver played with cousins Molly, Maggie and Olie.  We played games, walked in the woods, opened presents and ate really well.  Its nice to have family close enough to visit for the holidays.  Helps when I'm missing my family who are so far away.  
This was the first year that Oliver got Santa Claus and all that Christmas brings. It was a lot of fun watching him be with family and opening gifts. He is still saying every one's names and talking about the "loud" donkey that we encountered on Christmas day. 


 
Oliver's new train table - a hit!

Papa Mark is loved by his grand kids and the feelings are mutual.
