Aside from a few glitches along the way, we had a very merry Christmas! We tried to get the festivities started early by leaving town on the 23rd to drive up north to visit our families; unfortunately, this only got us stuck in major traffic and we did not get to have Christmas Eve Eve dinner & presents with my mom and step-dad (we made up for it the next day, although our celebration was brief since we had to also drive up to Davis that day). Other misfortunes included, Noah getting the stomach flu on Christmas Eve, which meant he didn't get to enjoy his mom's yummy traditional holiday meals. Then, at the end of the break, Noah and I both got colds. Ugh! Otherwise, our Christmas was great--it was so much fun sharing in the joy of Keira's first Christmas and getting to spend time with both of our families!
Next we had a Christmas celebration with my mom.

After Christmas Eve with my mom, we drove up to Davis to spend a few days with Noah's family. Here we are on Christmas morning before diving in to our stockings!
Why all the camera flashes?!?!
Ooh, this stocking thing is fun!

After Keira woke up from her nap, she got to open her presents, with the papparazzi standing by to capture it all on multiple cameras!
The next night, we had dinner and a game night with some longtime family friends, the Sluises. Here Keira and Isabel are meeting for the first time.

On our way back home, we stopped off to visit my family again. Here, Keira is showing off the new toys she got for Christmas to her Grandma.
And she is showing off the two bottom teeth she has coming in!
