Vicki and Tessa
Taken just before Tessa’s bedtime yesterday. It was a long day. She went shopping with Aunt Yeiya (Leila) and Vovó, took a long nap, had a great time at Judah’s birthday party. And still finished up smiling!
Family photo with kids and grandkids

The good of Christmas
- Good time with friends and family. (Parties, kid at home.)
- Good food. (Mexican chicken and broccoli and cauliflower salad today.)
