What a terrific couple of days we've had! Uncle Eric met his new baby niece on Wednesday, the 23rd. We all enjoyed Imo's pizza for lunch - a Burger family tradition when Uncle Eric is in town. Audrey had the good fortune of spending time with her Daddy today while I handled last minute shopping. Those two sure enjoy their time together. Gary handles Audrey very differently than I do. He seems to notice new and different things about her than I notice. It is a delight to see her respond to us both.

We spent Christmas Eve dinner with our friend Reba (aka Audrey's "Beba"), Reba's sister Susan and Susan's boyfriend Jim. As always, Reba was a terrific hostess and her home was decked out in holiday splendor! Reba's four legged kids - Boomer, Belle and Beatrice - joined us throughout the evening. They were very well behaved around Audrey and didn't bother her while she sat in her car seat on the floor during dinner. We received lovely gifts from Susan and Jim. There's been so much love and generosity showered on us lately!

Happy Birthday (yesterday), Uncle Scott!
