Mira's first Christmas!

Mira took her first trip to the Midwest and got to experience a white Christmas. We visited with Babcia Grazyna and Dziadek Andrzej in Chicago, with the Lundins in Rockford, and then with Grandpa Steve and Maryline in Madison. We were supposed to also visit with Grandma Gail and Auntie Georgia in Madison, but the crummy winter weather sadly ruined our plans for a visit. For Christmas Mira got lots of great gifts. Although she didn't quite know how to open the gifts, she did really enjoy crunching the crinkly wrapping paper! In the last few weeks of December Mira mastered sitting and started crawling! Watch out world, here she comes...!!

Mira got a really cute hat from Babcia Grazyna and did a lot of mugging for the camera in it!! We think this series of her is absolutely priceless!




















Opening presents on Christmas Eve



She was a red-cheeked drooly-mess after opening presents!!

Overdue!

With the recent holidays, we have gotten behind on the blog! Apologies to those who reminded us a long time ago that we need to put more photos up! Here is a sampling of pictures from the end of November. We went to Beauregard Vinyards for a holiday family photo and wine tasting. Then we traveled to Sacramento to have Thanksgiving with the Williamsons.

Just before going to Beauregard, all dressed up in her pretty dress!



Before Thanksgiving dinner. Mira wore her beautiful French sweater from Maryline (and drooled on it a lot)!






Ben was so wiped out he slept through most of dinner
