Madeline celebrated her first Christmas with visits to family and friends. On Christmas day, she got to hear Daddy sing at church.
Then it was off to Christmas with Lisa's family.
Here is Madeline in her Christmas outfit, a gift from her Godmother, Judy.
Grumpy and Grumpier???
Then we headed down to Iowa to meet and visit Eric's family from the 26th through the 30th.

Great Uncle and Aunt Michael and Joanne came in from Michigan for the holidays.

After all this excitement, Madeline takes a much needed nap.
And where better to curl up but in her mother's loving embrace?
Eric and Lisa: What precious photos! I so missed my Maddie at 5 AM this morning for our daily rock-a-bye! Hugs from Iowa -- Grandma R
You know what, Lisa? You and Eric are doing a great job. Keep up the good work raising up one of God's most precious gifts.
Love, Cindy
We're still in California, having a great time at the RoseBowl Parade, Game, and San Diego. How exciting to find a computer and get to see the beautiful Christmas photos of Maddie and your family. Happy New Year!
