Christmas 2007

Christmas was good fun this year, Cadence could actually unwrap her gifts, at least until that activity lost its novelty. It's nice, she's in the stage where she doesn't expect gifts yet, but enjoys the process of discovery. Our Christmas schedule included a quick doctor visit Christmas Eve to hear baby's heartbeat and report to the doctor that everything seems to be going smoothly with the pregnancy, before a trip to Fresno where we celebrated the evening at my Grandma's house...a long-standing tradition. We kicked off Christmas Day by unwrapping gifts and emptying stockings here at home, then heading over to my folk's place in our PJ's for breakfast and more gift giving. We went home again just long enough to freshen up and get ready for the day before going back to my folk's place for lunch with the whole Pisor family...and more gifts of course. Then finally we ducked out of there a little early and headed to Visalia to Eric's aunt's place for more food, and you guessed it, more gifts. In all honesty, it was not as exhausting as it may sound. Here are some captured moments of some of those times:

Grandma had time to shower before we made it over the first time:

She really knows how to handle a phone a little too well:

Uncle Mark and his clamps....um...I'm not sure that's what they're for:
