Christmas and New Year

I love Christmas and Christmas must love me!  I had so much fun!  I was in Portland for Christmas Eve and in Salem for Christmas Day, and was smothered by the generosity and love of my enormous family.   I want to thank everyone for all the gifts and attention and for making my second Christmas even better then the first.  I am very lucky to have been born into such a great group.  This Christmas I got to play with real babies, my newest cousins Isabella and Kale.   I especially want to thank my Uma and Papa and my Gramma and Grampa for watching me while my parents went to Hawaii (without me) and for looking after me while I was sick (while my parents were in Hawaii without me.)  I finished 2007 and started 2008 in a snow covered cabin on Mt. Hood surrounded by family and puppies, which is a good thing because my dads were in Hawaii without me!  Luckily, they missed me so much they vowed never to vacation without me again.  Happy New year!
