Merry Christmas from the Family

(Beatrix on Christmas Day)

(Visitor on Christmas Day)

Beatrix, Daddy and Momma spent Christmas Eve at home with a big pot of Borscht.
Christmas Day Grammy, Granddad, and Great Gma Sally showed up with loads of gifts. Including a "strange" jolly man in a red suit.
The day after xmas, we all enjoyed an outing to the Austin Children Museum.. B and Daddy loved it so much I am almost certain we will be visiting again.

Keely and Marsden stopped by in the evening with some goodies, including a perfect sized wooden desk with a heart seat for B and boozy fruit cake for Momma.

Nana, Aunt Lisa and the cousins paid us a visit on the Tuesday after xmas. Despite the wet weather, the kids ran around in the backyard a bit and we all enjoyed a late lunch together.

Beatrix loves her family very much and it is always nice to spend time with everyone.

Beatrix Speaks

("Ready to Go")

We were playing with the helmets and the girls said "Ready to Go!". I couldn't think of a better picture to share.

I wanted to make note that today we are saddened by the tragic death of momma's dearest friend and one of Nugget's avid readers. Lacey loved looking through the pictures and Bea updates periodically. She is very missed.

Please drink responsibly and do not drink and drive.

Gearing up for PNW

In about a week Beatrix and Momma are taking our first plane ride to visit the Wahl's in Washington State.....
