  1. Merry Christmas once again; Murray, wonderful job of capturing the magic of a holiday morning for Genna. Monique, what beautiful heart-shaped waffles for breakfast; how nice of you to be the hostess.Thank you for sharing your day with us! Peter once again made a lovely keepsake for Genna; these will be cherished gifts. Nice portraits of the Wood family. The pool after all of the festivities looked very inviting, too. Felt like we were there in spirit, as Genna and her doll were wearing part of the Christmas gifts we sent- the holiday child and doll dress. It has become a tradition for dolly to be included,too. Love and hugs across the miles.

  2. Best post EVER! Is there anything better than family and Christmas?! Oh yes there is! Genna getting her amazing dollhouse!! I absolutely LOVE the family photos! Thanks for the videos! Almost as good as being there! And one last question.....are you naming the boat "The Minnow 2"? :)
    Love and miss you's,

  5. Okay....after watching the blog videos for the 100th time, I must say I have 2 more favorite parts!! First, when you can hear "Grand Dad" and Murray's Merry Christmas smooch off camera (if only the entire world was that loving!!) AND when Genna casually finishes off Santa's plate of goodies!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
    Love and miss you's,
