My favorite gift.
This is MY ride! This was the hit gift...although she did enjoy playing with the clothes boxes.
We were so glad that my brother Jon spent the holidays with us.
Santa was very GOOD to Soleil!
Engrossed in a good book with Granny.
Eager to get into the cake at Ricky's second bday party.
Hanging out with Nana and Papa.

Soleil helped Granny hang out clothes.
Ricky and Soleil waiting for Santa. This holiday season was very different for us, for a number of reasons. I experienced Christmas in a wheelchair. While it was heartwrenching at times, I really am happy to be alive. As a result of my accident, the whole family came together for Christmas. Even my brother, Jon and my Uncle Andy. We also got to experience Soleil's first "I get it now" Christmas. She was sooo excited and covered her mouth with her hands and jumped up and down.
I wish you all the happiness in 2009!
