Paige has become the most proficient Walker at the new Nespresso machines. Any time you need a cappuccino, she's your barista!

Here is Graham, one proud 1st grader after his first EVER spelling test (check out what year it is! LOL)
Graham and Grandad, together in Houston, pre-Christmas celebration on the day we closed on the CA house. Being gents...
And being silly!
A New Year's sunrise over the pool
We have found our little garden sprite singing around the grounds often...
Merry Christmas. Our tradition of eggs benedict and champagne continues
A happy girl on Christmas morn with the dolly her Aunt Gwynn sent
Enjoying the haul from St. Nick
Waiting in the car for her siblings to get out of school. It's only a 5 minute carpool line, but she has missed them all day. She spent that day "helping" mom unbox the garage. She's wearing all the Paige- and Graham-me-downs she scored in the process. She's being sassy here, not sad, and showing off her little shoulder on purpose.
Our excited crew on their first day of school in California.
Reading on Christmas eve.
A chilly but fun last week of 2010, Nana and Grandad came out to see us. We loved it. We took them to the dog-friendly beach in Del Mar. Patchie reveled in the sandy fun.
The girls survey the tree on Christmas Eve. All set.
They are such eager readers, they gave it a shot on their own this Christmas.
We made cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve. Lots of butter, flour, cutters and fun.
We love the real Santa who comes to a friend's party every year on Christmas Eve Eve.
We surprise visited some good buddies when we hopped to Houston just before Christmas. Giggles everywhere!
Reading Elf on the Shelf (not my favorite new Christmas tradition, but oh well, in for a penny...)
The sweetest little snowflake poses gracefully...

So many great pictures! It's like a feast for my eyes. My favorites are definitely the little sprite, Graham and Grandad acting silly, and graceful Paige as a snowflake. That pose is similar to the Valentine one you gave me a few years ago. LOVE!
Lovely pictures!
Love, M
