laughter and love

we had a wonderful christmas in z'ville spent with tons of family and friends. it was busy as always, but absolutely perfect. (except of course the huge hole that was left in our hearts as we desperately missed ash and jose.) lily couldn't adore her aunts and uncles and grandparents any more. she was in heaven!

christmas eve...






christmas morning...



sweet uni sammy...


lily managed to put more and more clothes on as the morning wore on...


this one's for you ash and jose!


demonstrating the "perfect pushup"




brotherly love...

and the days that followed...

in the company of wonderful friends


so so sad to drop dad off at the airport...






you wouldn't even believe how hard it is to get a picture of jim with his eyes open. this was the best one we got!

we love and miss you all so very much!
