Ho Ho Ho

Brie had a great Christmas with family and friends. On the 23rd we went over to the Marano's house with the Morita's and the Phillips and had pizza and chili. And then on Christmas Eve big rains locally closed our local hang out (trabuco oaks steakhouse) so we opted for fondue and had a fun European meal with Dad, Linda and Fraulein Maria. On Christmas Day we went down to Skip and Judy's house with all the San Diego relatives and Mom and her boyfriend Phil. Brie got lots of cute clothes and toys and is a very lucky little baby - she was the star of the show!! Her favorite toy was a little kitchen/fridge that she can cook on and do dishes and learn about food - her favorite subject!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL

Smart

I know it sounds cliche to say as a mother (because we're all biased) but Brie is really smart. She knows how to get her arms out of her car seat, she knows to look for a kitty if I say "Where is Mei Mei?" she knows how to turns pages in a book and most of all she knows when to "fake" cry when she wants something. So, watch out gullible grandma's and grandpa's! This little monkey is ready to persuade you into getting whatever she wants!
