Christmas 2008





We had a lovely Christmas with Josh and Anya on Tuesday (Christmas Eve eve). Both kids gave us lovely, thoughtful gifts and I think they enjoyed what they received as well. We had salad and pizza and fun chatting.

Wednesday morning George and I left for Philadelphia and the kids went to spend Christmas with Dave and Heather in Fredonia. Thankfully the roads were good and it was just rainy during part of the 8 hour drive. We arrived around 5:00 to see the absolutely cutest baby girl in existence!!! My goodness, what a doll! Elizabeth is full of smiles most of the time and excellent at entertaining herself at just 6 months!! She was adorable in the little coat I made for her and she loved her new book as you can see from the pictures! What fun!

Lily, the dog, has been amazingly good and has not chewed up one toy yet!! She was much calmer than when we saw her in August. What a good dog! She occasionally gets a few licks in, but otherwise seems to know that Elizabeth and her toys are off limits.

On Christmas day Amy's family came over and we had a wonderful dinner. It was great to get a chance to get to know Amy's parents and brother and sister better, as well as Amanda's boyfriend, Adam. Amy has a very nice family.

We spent a delightful morning with Amy, Mike and Elizabeth this morning and headed back to Ohio. I'm sure Elizabeth will be so different next time we get the opportunity to see her. It may not happen until May! It's too bad we live so far away.

You can see more pictures from Christmas (and of Elizabeth and family) if you scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the slide show. It will take you to our Flickr website full of pictures.
