We spent Christmas with Sean's uncles in the desert... and had a fabulous time.

Though Josh & Karleen had it the best, as they slept in the rented RV out front (aka the casita). Kar & Josh hosted a smashing Christmas eve cocktail hour (or 5 minutes) in the casita -- with fitting cocktails - coors light, ez cheese, and pigs in a blanket.

Nate has recently figured out how to get his hands to his mouth - and that they are simply delicious. He also enjoys stamping his left foot. (Perhaps he's going to be a lefty like his grandpa.) Sh#$@ing himself silly also continues to be a favorite pasttime. Oh, that's the life.

Sean was hoping that Nate was going to have his dad's gorgeous green eyes, but they seem to be getting darker and darker. They're currently a dark grey... we shall see.
