I didn’t take many photos during my two week Christmas holiday break. Of the few, I snapped these one morning while hanging out with my niece Lydia, Max and my nephew Drew.

Since Dick first saw the preview for the Alvin and the Chipmunks Squeakquel movie, he’s been saying one of the girl chipmunks reminds him of Lydia. Here he is, showing Lydia which one reminds him of her. (Turns out it was the character named Eleanor?)

Lydia loved the comparison. She wanted to watch the preview over and over.

Love my dog. He’s the best. And such a great traveler.

Video chatting with Eleanor. Though it freaked Lydia out; she wouldn’t speak a word, but could only stare at the screen.

Wii time with Lydia and Drew.

THANKSGIVING 2009

by Sara on December 3rd, 2009

Name plate holders for all.

Even Max celebrated the holiday with his own special Thanksgiving meal, courtesy of my mother-in-law, Janet. Turkey liver. (Yuck! But Max sure loved it).

Rachel, capturing the details.

Gram, Zach, Max & Rachel.

The princess (Eleanor) had to make her dramatic entrance down the stairs. She had a sleepover with us that night and boy was she happy! She calls Dick’s parents grandma and grandpa. She insisted that everybody refer to her as Savannah, not Eleanor.
