Boxing Day

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas day filled with happiness and fun. Thank you for the all the cards, gifts and greetings. For us, yesterday was a once in a lifetime experience to see Christmas morning through Nova's two-year-old eyes. The day went by in a blur. There was less rain than expected, but a wind storm blew though Seattle about the same time the Christmas whirlwind filled the house inside. When Nana got up and had a look around this morning, she wanted to go right back to bed. It looks like the aftermath of a tornado you see on TV.

No matter, because no one in this house needs to go out to work today. Except Nana, who will be working at home :-) For those of you who face a commute and the office this morning, my sympathies. Boxing Day is a national holiday in Canada and England, which is a more civilized thing. We should do it in America so people can hit the sales and spend their Christmas money. And clean up the mess. And eat leftovers.

John and I have precious new family memories we'll treasure from this busy week.
A very "serious" first ride on the Seattle Monorail...
Waiting (sort of) patiently for a downtown carousel ride...
Finally on a horse with Grandpa...
Christmas morning stocking finds...
Playtime with dad and mom...
Ready to fly into the new year with a Boeing flight jacket...
