The weather was a little chilly when we met Gigi & Grandpa Stothers at Huntington Library & Gardens for the day. We found the perfect "doll house" for Georgianna at the Children's Garden. We had fun exploring and soaking in all the "winter" beauty there.

Georgie was able to meet all her cousins and aunts & uncles this trip. Everyone was so gracious to come see us and visit a while. She definitely became smitten with her extended family, as do I think they did with her!

Christmas was wonderful and special- all three days of celebrating it. Christmas Eve was spent at Mimi & Papa's house with the fam (Vanessa, Iain, Ayden, Jeremy, Geoffrey, Erik, Shannon and Kari). Mom and Pops prepared an amazing dinner: Prime rib, Vegetable Tian, Rasberry Beets, Yorkshire Pudding, Comice pears in Maple Syrup and Pear Wine sauce. It was all so divine... still dreaming of it now. Georgianna wore her Christmas dress given to her by Grammy Alice Clark. She loved the layers of organza and tulle and new she felt like a pretty princess!

Here we come snow!The day after Christmas we celebrated at Grandpa & Gigi's with the Stothers family. So fun to have all 26 of us together. We sang Christmas songs and nephews Ayden & Jeremy sang beautiful solos that brought tears to Auntie's eyes. We also had a lovely dinner and a fabulous dessert buffet! Great cooks in this family I tell ya! Still dreaming about all those sweets too....
