We've had a little time now to let our Christmas travels settle in and marinade while getting over jet lag and trying to catch up with the pace of life once again. Finally we have a little time to update our blog chronicling our latest greatest adventure.
It's fitting, I suppose, to begin with this photo since this was the first Christmas that Maya showed any sort of recognition about Santa. Here, as anyone who knows Maya will understand, Maya is quite leary while her sister was all for sitting with Santa.
In the airports she was much more agreeable to the idea of looking for Santa in our explorations and even started looking forward to his visit by the time Christmas Eve arrived.
Maya and Naila had a great time with their Grandmas. Nini (Nancy) and Maya spent a whole lot of time together. Here they are putting up some Christmas window decorations.
This was Maya's morning ritual. She loved sitting at the bar and waiting with Rosie as Nini prepared her favorite of the day: Pancakes, oatmeal, juice, cereal etc.
Here are Maya and Nini at dinner--they look like twins don't they?
We had a surprise visit from Burke, Tiff, and Sully, and another one from Joe, Kristen, Tess, and Elsa. We were so happy to see everyone. Maya fell right back into it with both Tess and Sully.
Here is Ranger with his girls. On a couple of nights he was the only one who could calm miss Naila. The became good buddies on this trip.
My new favorite picture of Maya. Her long blonde hair juxtaposes nicely with the bindi to show her worldliness which is then tempered by the superman 's' which I'm sure she intended to demonstrate her selflessness in the pursuit of a better world for humankind.
Once again with Sully in Vancouver (thanks Tio and Tia!). We had such a wonderful ski vacation and the kids had a great time hanging out again.
Sully and Maya loved the cabinet of the TV stand, but we're pretty sure it was Naila who introduced them to it.
Upon discovery, she spent the majority of the rest of the trip hiding from us in there. Every once in a while she invited her sister and Sully in.
Booyah! We had a great day on the slopes topped off by a great time at Merlin's--and some fine Canadian brews too!
Another picture of these two having fun in the water.
When it finally started snowing we were having an adventure walking about Blackcomb Village and decided to make our own little Frosty. What a fun night.
Back in Delhi after a wonderful, inspiring and excting trip. Momma and babe too tired to go to bed. Enough said.
