Christmas with Brendan

Melissa, Andy, and Brendan came up to visit today. They didn’t get to come up for Christmas because of their work schedules, so today was sort of our holiday with them. We exchanged gifts, but other than that, it was just like any other visit.

Brendan is now really good at running around (and getting into trouble, haha). He is also learning to say more and more words, and he plays the “Where is your nose?” “Where is your hair?” game really well. :)

He was pounding the tray with his hands. Our translation was “WHERE IS MY FOOD, MAMA?!”

Family! (Most of it, anyway.)

After another fun–but long and exhausting–day, we are at home again. I just poured a glass of wine and we’re going to watch a movie (Forgetting Sarah Marshall).

Ahhh… vacation. This life is good.
