Christmas 3: Sun Valley

Sunday after Christmas we piled into the little car and drove over the river and through the woods to Grandma Pat and Grandpa Stan's house.  Zoey was 100% better and we were ready to enjoy the holiday.  It had been a good six months since I'd seen my sister and her family.  (We missed Turkey day due to sickness...  we weren't going to let that happen again!  And Zoey was in good spirits to do it!)
Cousin cuties!!

My seeester.

Grandma and her fiesta!!!  ...and her hooch!  :)

Keith and his hooch! 

This next one isn't the best picture, but it features some of the best times of the day and since then.  My incredibly talented sister knitted a bunch of vegetables and a shopping bag for Zoey.  They are to compliment her new kitchen from Santa.  Tracy said she thought Z could use them to make healthy snacks.  And boy, howdy, she has!  I hope to take some better pictures of the cutest food ever...  here's hoping that will make it's own post.  In any case, they are probably my favorite thing of all Christmas gifts this year. 
Zoey and her veggies!

This picture is entitled "All pictures of Christmas"  simply because that was the joke...  Keith's head or someone else's (usually his) would end up in just about every photo my Mom took.  Not on purpose, mind you, it just happened.  THIS photo was kinda on purpose.  :) 

I'll end our Christmas saga with just a simple one of Zoey and a present.
We are all so blessed for ALL of our Christmas and Solstice bounties and time together!  Much love to all.  Here's hoping I can get back on the wagon of posting!  Happy New Year!

What a lovely blog. I got time to read it today [A Snow Day] and I will share it w/ Grandpa as soon as I can get him awake ;) Your choice of photos was superior. Keep 'em coming.
We've got about 6 inches piled upon the deck of heavy wet snow.And I have a few chores to do as well as bookwork. Gotta go get busy. Luv, Yo Mamma

That is the most striking picture of your sister I have ever seen. I have always felt you girls were just the epitomy of natural beauty and strength. I think that picture of Tracy captures both of those things.
