Apres Ski

Warming up with Daddy by the fire after coming home from skiing the mountain.

Skiing at Mt. Bachelor with Daddy

According to Steve, Kelsey said, after her 1st time up the chairlift: "I wanna go on the chairlift again!"...there may be some more ski days in her future!

Berkeley Trip - 4 Generations 'Girl' Trip

Ended up being a fun, but exhausting trip...for all of us!

Great to get to meet Nanny's cousin Dolores Ann and her daughters, Anna and Amy (and their nephew Thomas).

Plaque outside the apartment where Nanny and Baba lived when he came back from the war - adorable brick building and so fun to have found it still standing.

Not so sure about the puppet show...at Fairyland in Oakland - the only sunny day!

Vacaville's Nut Tree

Christian's latest transformation...

Pre-cut 'do' - he donated all of the braids to Locks of Love.

Post-cut...

New Year Celebrations

New Year's Day feast - complete with Grandma Dorothy's cinnamon rolls!

Working on cat wrangling...with varied success.

Peter's early birthday celebration.

My (not so) little brothers.

Merry Christmas!

Gorgeous Christmas sunrise over Mt. Hood.

A little Christmas morning reading with the Ervin uncles.


Checking out the work that Santa and the reindeer did to the cookies and lettuce...they must have been hungry! Kelsey was most impressed with the hoof print left by one of the prancing reindeer...

Santa loot - the favorite was the (second hand!) toddler bike - K and Steve will be going on some biking adventures together soon!

Blowing out Baby Jesus Birthday Cake candles!
