Ho, ho, ho

Amanda sent this picture of the family visiting Santa. They were in Winthrop this weekend for the annual "Christmas at the End of the Road" festivities, a country cowboy event with bonfires and a night hot air balloon glow.

This is the first Santa picture where someone isn't crying or covering their eyes in fear.   When I asked Maya about that on the phone she said, "Nana, only babies do that."  So true. Our little ones grow up too fast.

And here's those big girls out for a Thanksgiving day walk with friends.  From Nova's expression it looks like winter has arrived in the Methow Valley.
