Hugs all around.

I'll miss you Motory.  (Sniff, sniff).

Good bye, Motory!

Nic and Nat made small trees for their rooms.

A visit with the Hillaires

We went to dinner at Kathy and Robert's house.  Emily came with us and the kids had a blast.  Here are Nic, Nat, Em and Adam.

Here they are again at the dinner table.

Christmas Eve

Every 24th of December, the babies get to go to the office with Daddy.  Nat has two heavy bags and they also took along some guys.

Another light saber????!!

Chivie got a little something, too.

Grandma, I LOVE my new robe you made me!  I look just like Princess Leia!

I LOVE my robe, too.  Thanks, Grandma!  (By the way, he wears it everywhere.  To the mall, to Safeway, etc.)

I think there's a Star Wars something or other going on.  Emmy loves her Grandma robe, too.
