Some of Anya's Favorite Things

One of Anya's favorite activities is pushing her stroller. Unfortunately, she likes to push on the brake which makes things rather frustrating. Regardless, it keeps her entertained for hours.

Some other things she loves to do include, but certainly not limited to:
* Throwing food on the floor
* Eating the letters "B" and "8" in the bathtub
* Standing in the bathtub
* Play hide and seek in the curtains

Celebrating Christmas at the Durrie's in Inverness, CA

Over 20 relatives (mostly of the Durrie's extended family) celebrated Christmas at their house in Inverness. Folks came from as far as Mexico, New Jersey, Seattle, Michigan, and more locally the East Bay and the Sierra Foothills. Belinda, or "Bindi", Nick's Mom, brought some English traditions like: English Crackers and crowns, and plum pudding (which was amazing).

Anya's First Thanksgiving

We visited Steve ("Nano") and Mary Ann ("Nanna") in Clemmons, NC for Anya's first Thanksgiving. It was our first visit out there. They have a magical home- 1 acre on the lake, can't see any cars or homes from their living room, and have a beautiful koi pond.


Anya loved their rocket swing, hanging from a tree:

She also wanted to show off her new walking skills by going off roading:
