Catching up!

God, it has been forever since I posted. I hope to make up for it in the next few days. The holiday season was a blast and it was pretty busy. Up to Portland for Thanksgiving with John, Andrew, Matt, Kelly and Annie then back home for a bunch of great family visits in LA from Sally and then from Lee and Steve a couple of weeks later. Here are some photos from the last part of 2009.

We went to get our tree the Saturday after Thanksgiving because we are a little dorky about our tree (and about Christmas). As usual, Lucy is merely tolerating us.

This year, we went with our friends Bob, Steph and Birdy to Travel Town in Griffith Park to take the train to the North Pole. Here we are on the train riding away from the big guy through a nice light display.

Oh lordy, I love this picture. This is Stephnie and I at the Travel Town North Pole excursion.

Here is Sally teaching Lucy the fine art of pretend cooking. Early on this day, we got our picture taken with Santa. And when I say "we" I mean, we all got in the photo because Lucy took one look at Santa and started backing away. Sally got Lucy the snazzy red turtleneck just for the occasion.

This is at the at the DWP light show that we go to every year.

More soon!
