| Christmas Visits December 2016 | |
| I wasn't good about capturing all of the
      Christmas visits I had with friends during this time, but I did get a few
      of them.  It was wonderful catching up with my friends.  I love
      Christmas! | |

| Blurry shot of Isabel & Uncle Eric. Melody is still warming up to him. | Melody was willing to give him a hug if Isabel went along too. | 
|   Me, Melody, Isabel, and Jiayi. So nice to be together again! |  | 
| Speaking of together again, here's a blast from the past!  My good
  friend Ellie now lives in California so I don't get to see her very often, but thankfully she came in for a Christmas visit. We went to Jiayi's house for an afternoon of hanging out together. | |

| Isabel, hamming it up. This girl is a spitfire! | I also enjoyed an afternoon with Rachel. She took me out for pie, it was delicious. |
