What a lovely Christmas! And in the most amazing setting! "Goodnight Gorilla" is such a great book.

You've pretty much made me obsessed with Jackson Hole now! The cabin looks wonderful! Out of curiosity, is it a family home or did you rent it?

What a great Christmas. Your parents house is gorgeous - the views must be just amazing!

I love the microphone that your niece got. I got Lily a microphone, but its not nearly as cool looking as that one!

Thanks for sharing!

What a gorgeous home your parents have. I love seeing photos of it. You got some great photos of Vivian. What a wonderful way to celebrate the holidays with your loved ones. Your parents must have loved having you all there!

Love your Christmas... all about family! My boys LOVED "Goodnight Gorilla". And my mother even gave my cousin, who is expecting, our old worn-out copy for her new baby. What a classic!
