Siena’s First Christmas

Siena had a memorable first Christmas! At least, it will be memorable for us. We spent our first married Christmas with HiW’s family last year, so this year it was my family’s turn. This was HiW’s first experience of my family’s Christmas traditions.

My mom called us a few days before we’d planned to drive into town, worried we wouldn’t make it if we tried to come after that night’s snowstorm.  So we packed in a hurry and hit the icy highway before it got worse. The rest of our story is in the captions of the following pictures.

Our Christmas was fantastic, and we hope yours was as well!

Christmas Critters

LRH, Siena and I went to Portland this year for Christmas. We made the journey before the snow storms hit and made it safely. Her parents’ deck was host to a bunch of little critters this morning as they were scurrying about looking for food. Instead, they found my camera. Here are two shots I snapped earlier:

We hope you have a merry Christmas this year. Be safe out there.
