Here are 4 videos- 3 taken in the last 2 days and then one a few weeks ago. The first two are very blurry- but somewhat depict Holland sledding- but alone and with Joe:
And this one was taken yesterday morning. Holland was in just one of those super goofy moods where you just never know what she is going to do next!
And here is one taken on 12/8- the first real snow we had fall. It was really warm out and felt so nice to just run around in the litle bit of snowfall that was on the ground!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
And, just like that the year is over. I won't even apologize for not posting in six weeks, yet again- as really this blog is only for me anyway- right?
We had a really nice Christmas here- just the 3 of us for the first time. Granted, it would be really nice to have family nearby- preferably family living close by. As it turned out though- the only options we would have had to visit family would most likely have fallen through anyway as all of the Pacific NW got hit with crazy snowstorms. So, it was just us 3- and that was okay. Totally okay. In fact, normally I after Christmas I always felt that depressing sunken feeling after Christmas, but this year- it is just continuing. I have always felt that the Christmas Spirit should linger on, and maybe just maybe it actually will this year.
Holland truly enjoyed our little Christmas morning, and therefore we truly enjoyed just watching her. We spent hours opening presents as of course she wanted to play with every gift after opening it. (and why wouldn't/shouldn't she?!) So we did that, ate some, took it easy and then went sledding. All in all a very nice day!!
As for recent Holland nuances- as this post is far more wordy than my normal tendencies... She is just a very silly girl! Holland carries her favorite baby (now named Chauncey) everywhere. Chauncey generally sits next to us at the table, rides in the car, you get the picture... Another favorite current silly thing is Holland tells me that she is a "tiny little baby" and likes to "learn" to talk. I ask her to say words like "mama", "dada" "bye-bye" and she uses this little baby voice. It is pretty cute. Hide and go seek is the number one game of choice around here. Holland *loves* the act of finding more than anything. Of course, most of the time barky Modoc is a total spoiler, but that is life in our loud house.
I have many, many videos I might add soon on here. If I ever get around to it that is... Maybe tomorrow as the weekend still lingers on?
