Christmas 2001

We spent this Christmas in Alaska.  This was the first Christmas were we've been away from both our families. We made the most of it, enjoyed it with friends, and most of all watching Maddie truly experience the Christmas spirit

Maddie warmed up to every Santa she ran into. She knew her wish list by heart and wasn't afraid to tell him

Christmas Eve Madeline and her two favorite boys, Lucas and Ben, had loads of fun

We had a feast with Tamales and Paella (courtesy of Iris) and great company to enjoy Christmas Eve
