Wow - so the holidays came and went quickly and yes, it's taken me longer than I'd hope to get around to posting about the holidays. They were great. At the beginning of December my great-Aunt Virgina came for a visit. We had a nice family gathering down in Los Gatos to celebrate the latest in my mom's remodel projects. The only thing that wasn't yet done was the painting but even still the place looked amazing. A completely different kitchen! Violet loved my great-Aunt Virginia. They both were very taken with each other. And for me it was the closest thing to my daughter meeting my grandmother/her great-grandmother, who passed while I was pregnant. Virginia is her sister and they are alike in many ways. I really enjoyed talking with her about old stories of her and my grandmother.
Then Chip's parents came for the week of Christmas and we had a nice relaxing time hanging out at the house. My mom and Susan were here for Christmas dinner and my dad came the day after Christmas. Violet enjoyed herself immensly, visiting with everyone, working on her crawling technique and learning how to open presents. And my mom made an incredible Christmas dinner. She may not eat meat, but she sure does know how to prepare it! For once I was her sous chef and it was a nice break.
