Christmas and Time With Family

We spent several days with family down in Florence at Christmas time. Aunt Michelle & Uncle Steve flew in from New Jersey, Aunt Annette & Uncle Dave traveled from Washington state, and of course, we were at Grandma & Grandpa Braley's house. It was good to see everyone and to have everyone together to watch Siena on her first truly "aware" Christmas. What fun to watch her! Mommy & Siena were with the family for nearly a week. Daddy was in Florence for 1/2 a week, but went home a little bit early to take care of Misty, our kitty.
