Christmas 2008

We had a fabulous Christmas this year. (Not that we don't usually, but...) This one was extra special because Siena enjoyed it so much. Truly. She "danced" from family member to family member, loving all of the attention that she received, and delighting in every gift opened (and there were a lot!). The time we spent with Cheryl's family really was wonderful. Here are some of our photos from the week:

Siena and Grandpa playing with the Wedgits that Grandma and Grandpa gave her for Christmas. Cool toy!

At the end of the week, Grandma and Grandpa Braley came up with Michelle & Steve so that they could fly out from PDX. We had a couple of days at our house with everyone. Good times!

Michael, Siena, and I came back home the day after Christmas and opened our gifts that we'd left for ourselves here. Christmas went on and on!

Christmas morning: Siena checks out her stocking stuffers from Santa!

Opening one of Siena's many Christmas gifts. She had a blast with the paper...she definitely knew what to do this year!

Michael, Siena, and I on Christmas Eve before going to Candlelight Service at my home town church in Florence with family.
