We had a wonderful Christmas with our little family this year. One of the highlights was watching Sienna play with her new, red kitchen. She loves baking cupcakes, making soup, and of course, talking on the phone. One of my favorite things about the holidays is the yummy food. We spent Christmas Eve with our friends, the Miner's, and enjoyed a delicious ham, potatoes with gruyere cheese, homemade rolls, white chocolate cheesecake, and a chocolate hazelnut tort (wish I took pictures, so I could drool over the food right now). I was in heaven! Their girls put on a cute puppet show of the nativity. On Christmas morning, Jeff made omelettes just like my dad always does and for dinner we made
roasted salmon with Granny Smith apple butter sauce and herbed potato cakes. So good!
Sienna is practicing her surf moves on a virtual surfboard, which Jeff got for Christmas from Robin.
Here is another highlight of Christmas:
We are enjoying little Dylan so much! He is such a good baby and brings a special feeling to our home. A few days after Christmas our families came and we blessed Dylan at church. It was a beautiful day and experience for us. My mom made this darling outfit for Dylan. She knitted the blanket and little booties, too.
My sweet friend (practically my sister), Heddy, opened her home to us for brunch and visiting after the blessing.
On New Year's Eve, we drove to Southern California to visit my grandma who is sick. Even though it was difficult to see her like this, I'm glad she and my papa got to meet Dylan and see Sienna. Dylan also got to meet my sister Amy:
And, finally, I had to include these pictures of the sweetest little ones. I love them so much!

Yeah! New pictures! I can't believe what a smiler Dylan is! We miss you!
Love, Grandma
What a wonderful Christmas! Dylan looks so much older than the last pictures of him, he is growing fast! I love his smiles (and the scowl in his blessing outfit) and Sienna looks like a great big sister. Hope you guys are doing well.
WOW, I am so glad I woke up in time to have that beautiful picture taken of me with the kids. Can I look more like DAD???? Love your kids...........too cute!!!!
What is it with food? I read your blog, food. I read Elizabeth's blog, food. Now I am hungary. If I see it on Amy's and Robin's blogs I think I will start a blog of food.8] Can I get the recipe for the salmon/apple butter dish?
Oh... I can't wait to that smile in real life! We were so glad to spend Christmas Eve with you too. Thank you for being our family here in the City!

What great pictures! Dylan has quite the smile... and dimples!! Sure enjoyed seeing you guys. Thanks for treating us to that delicious salmon dish, too.
Ok... did you get that zip up jacket for Sienna to make me jealous? It's so cute! She looks so big compared to little D. Glad to see you are enjoying all your hard work! Cute kids. Love the big, beautiful eyes as I predicted:-)
Cara, Dylan is so adorable! He smiles so much and his dimples are to die for! Sienna seems like she loves him so much! Love her kitchen and glad Jeff liked his surf board! We miss you!
