Belated Christmas

Happy New Year!

I didn't realize how much we've been up to until I finally downloaded pictures to my computer.  The most obvious set of  memories is Christmas.  We had two Christmases this year, and continued to be asked for more by Blake until we finally took down the tree.  The first was with Grandparents Rob and Sharon, and Bitsy and Steve, and Aunt Rachel and Uncle James.  Our 17-foot tree, cut from the Uintah forest, presided perfectly over the pile of presents and we all had a lovely time. 

Here are a few highlights:

Sebe's new bike shorts... just kidding, these are for Gavin!

Gavin's baby mat, handmade by Rachel.

Blake's first LEGO Power Miners set... a BIG hit.

Gavin loves snuggling his giant stuffed animals.

And our second Christmas was comprised of puzzles and books from Oma and Opa, "Team Ziesler" sweatshirts from Carole and Conrad, and mountain gear from Scott Beall.

How cute is this little tyke?

Could this look be signaling the end of Christmas?

We had a wonderful, white Christmas full of lots of love and laughs.
