These are a few of my favorite things

Watching my family with Lily was such a treat this Christmas. It was especially fun watching my younger siblings, Jamie (8), Emma (9), and Ralphie (11) with her, since they were my "babies" when I was in high school and college.

This Christmas was also really special because I got to see both of my parents' families. This doesn't usually happen as my mom lives in Northern California and is a 14-hour drive from my dad's house in Pasadena. In spite of my parents being divorced and remarried, they are wonderful about coming together for some blended family time for us kids. I wish that my brother, Chris, and his wife Cindy could have been there. Here are some of my favorite pictures of my family with Lily.
