Christmas Eve on Skyline Drive

The McKenzies and Mendelsohns had Christmas Eve at our house. Ross flew in from San Francisco and had tons of quality time with his devoted little niece. Mom cooked and brought food over (including her famous latkas!) and we finally got to use our wedding china. Sloane didn't sit at the big table (or any table at all, actually), but she played in her activity center throughout the whole meal (you can see her in the background of the group photo) -- what a good girl! She got her first big Christmas present after lunch -- her very own pony. What a day!

And, if you notice a sudden dramatic increase in the quality (and quantity) of my photos, it's because Dan got me an INCREDIBLE new camera for Christmas. Thanks honey!
