Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!


We hope that you all have had a peaceful and wonderful holiday. We are just through the joyous chaos of Christmas and looking into staying up to welcome in the New Year tomorrow night. Fiona's fourth Christmas was so fun for us all. Her wonder at the mystery of Santa was great and made all the little preparations worthwhile. Lots of special Stories, Christmas Cookies, Presents from St Nick himself, followed by visits from our dear friends Brian Liv and Lyle from Oregon.

Here are a few pictures to illustrate:

A Sunday dinner of historic proportions with Brian and Liv and Lyle (in action!)


We will be at home for january and february, perhaps a trip on the train to Oregon in March . With any luck 2010 will be as wonderful as 2009 and perhaps the world can find a bit more peace and harmony to boot.

Love and Hugs,
Louise

PS, thank's to Brian for pointing out that our post about the Grand Canyon was broken...I fixed it. Apparently the computer was revolting.
