Christmas visit with Grandma Kathy and Roy

This weekend Grandma Kathy and Ray came up to visit and to have a Christmas celebration with us. Poor Rayne fell sick Friday night, and didn't get to hang out too much, unfortunately. She did get to open gifts from Grandma and from Uncle Jeran and Aunt Marilyn, and had fun looking at her new toys. She got a great animal book that she just loves!

Walker

Rayne started walking tonight. Back and forth between Grandma Sue and me on the kitchen floor. She was so proud of herself, going back and forth, back and forth and giggling the whole time. We spent about 20 minutes there, and another 10 on the carpet. Then, Rayne decided she would be walking all over, and started just taking off in her room, in the living room....
She really tired herself out, but still didn't want to go to sleep. Thank god her Dad is so patient - he is the night-night guy these days. Mom is the food supply (er) and play thing, so I don't get anywhere with her. with Jas, it's usually right out!
Anyway, it's exciting and scary as hell! Time to REALLY childproof!
Oh, and the look of terror on Cliffee's face! lol

Christmas

Rayne's First Christmas.
She got lots of fun stuff.... a new chair and new socks.
Then she got some cd's, books and toys, like a great basketball set from Grandma Sue, and an awesome play house from Grandma Candy.

Snow

Well, we have been snowed in for a couple of days now. Rayne first got to see the snow on the 14th, but it really started in on the 19th. Now we have amost 18"!

Christmas pictures

My friend, Teresa, did our Christmas portraits this year. They turned out fantastic. Here are some pics we took during the session, which was at Pittock Mansion on December 6th.
