Christmas Eve - Tavish, Collin, Alex & Isabella 
Boxing Day - Chantelle, John Richard & Isabella 
And finally Maddie!
(Isabella and Maddie are the same age and Maddie had lots of new Christmas toys to play with!)
"Uncle Huuughie"
Isabella, of who-ville
Mass chica's!
Just one more...
Our team of chefs for our Boxing Day feast
Followed by crepes, a new Boxing Day tradition?
All the while Isabella kept a look out for more snow
The day after Boxing Day - one last cuddle, with cousin Alex
Thank you all for such a wonderful Christmas holiday!
Actually we didn't see anyone else.
Isabella made friends with a cactus.
She also got to "help" Antoine set up his telescope.
And then struck out for a walk on her own
Time out for breakfast
Followed by a little desert mountain biking...
A midweek swim (and shower) break
One very happy camper!
Beautiful sunsets...
Mom had fun too!
Dinner (& silly) time in the RV
Night night Isabella...
Night night desert moon!
No cell phone coverage!
And here it is... our proof-positive that we really did have a trantula stop by for a visit (to be honest, it was so big -- 5 inches -- that it wasn't even scary. More kind of cute, in a fuzzy sort of way...:-)
