Except for a trip to the ER on Christmas eve that extended into Christmas morning and a lack of snow, it was a GREAT Christmas. Caden and Jeannie and Jamie being home made it AWESOME! In fact after their visit Nora officially thinks she has a little brother named Caden. She's told her teacher and her classmates and sticks to it no matter how many times I explain "cousin" to her.
The holidays were filled with everything they should be; family, food, and fun!

Nora has picked up a quirky, halirous trait.....when you say "smile" she tucks her upper lip under tight against her teeth. I suppose she figures you show your teeth when you smile so the more teeth the better.
This holiday season certainly had a seafood theme, we went up to Portland to have Christmas in January with Dave and Rena and Kyle and feasted on oysters
