With a big family and lots of visitors, we enjoy the Forever Christmas - many houses, multiple celebrations, lots of presents, and playtime with Sunny's cousins. It's the most wonderful time of the year. (Well, Max wishes it were warmer/sunnier, but other than that, it's ideal!)
We kicked off the Christmas season with a visit with Papa to Alpenrose Dairy.
Merida the Brave - with her game face on. (I'm realizing just how often Sunny is in dress-up clothes, doing this blog. It's pretty constant.)
Nauntie and Uncle Sean joined us for an incredible 5-minute performance at the school's Christmas program.
Sunny received a ballerina paper doll in her advent box, with 2 tickets to the kids' Nutcracker.
So we got dressed and headed right to the show!
She tried out ballet moves at intermission...
This was my view, since we were so close to the stage I had to hold her in my lap for her to see them dancing on pointed toes. Note the tiara: obstructed view.
Here she is with Veda at the apres-show Nutcracker Tea.
Hanging with the fam at the Grilled Cheese grill, before heading around Alberta looking for gnomes. Really. It's a thing: a scavenger hunt for kids.
Zoolights, again! Always!
Just being herself at the dinner table.
Loving on her Uncle Scott!
Enjoying a visit with Auntie Mel and Uncle James, too!
And hanging out with the Wandler clan, Papa, Grandma & Grandpa, and the Stevens duo.
Cute cousins!
Even cuter! (Is Lucca already a nudist, or is Sunny teaching her?)
Christmas at GG's.
December walks = bundled up wagon rides, often with Christmas lights are carol music.
It was great to see Curt and Julie Stevens, too - love them!
Awwww.
My beautiful little sister. And what a cook - delicious feasting!
These are all from Christmas Eve at the Stevens home.
Christmas morning at our house! Look at those sleepy eyes.

A new bear from Santa, whom Sunny named Rosie. She joins Jackson and Chewy Bear(s).
Yay, and here come Nauntie and Uncle Sean (must be nice to sleep in on Christmas...)
Can we nap yet? I need to go on a walk or I'll pass out.
Off we go. Loving that tiny Rosie Bear during the family walk.
Cousins: Sebastian, Sunny, Halle, Arie, Corinne, Lucca and Noah.
Christmas with the Kelley's at Popo and Daddo's house!
Sunny served LJ and Daddo tea from her lovely new tea set.
Sunny loves her dog buddies Satchel, Audrey and Riot.
Driving around, searching for our dream cabin (or at least a cabin site!)
Making big plans/wishes in our New Year's red envelopes...
One of Sunny's wishes was "Disneyland."
Happy New Year! Welcome, 2014!
(Hey, I'm now caught up to the current calendar year on this blog!)
