Winter is always full of wonderful things. We had a great Christmas. Auntie Steph and Tommy came home to help us celebrate. Vienne still had little understanding of what was going on but she picked it up quickly. Natalya loved every moment of it. Mommy and Natalya even went to our first Nutcracker performance together. Vienne turned 18 months without slowing down. She's definitely our little fireball full of energy. Natalya turned 5! We celebrated with a pirate party. Natalya is patiently waiting for snow... Not so likely in South Texas.
