Page got a potty for Christmas. She, just now, for the first time, used it in the way for which it was designed.

Boxing Day

December 26th, 2011 by brendan

Brendan stayed home today for one more day of family fun. We went into town and got some semi-ok grub at the Los Gatos Cafe. We both decided there needs to be an improved Yelp, because it def wasn’t 4.5 stars. Los Gatos, Where is our breakfast spot??

I had a 3 PM meeting in Palo Alto so we went out for an early hike to Castle Rock, top 5 hikes yet, for sure. It was a gorgeous day here, the sun is still shining on us and we’ll take advantage of it while we can. The rains will come soon!

Page was awake the whole time, signing the ‘Dohdoh Song” and then the “Mama, Dada Song”. She says “Hi!” to everyone we pass. It is the sweetest thing.

  1. After all – it is a holiday in OZ!

  1. Hey Alex and Brendan,

    Thanks so much for the Christmas video you sent, we loved watching it and seeing how much Page is growing! She is such a big girl now. Have a lovely Christmas! We hope you like the presents x

  2. i love your webpage. hope you have a Merry Christmas in your new home – what an adventure for Page. This is a delightful time for the young ones and i think Poppy will be a delight this Christmas as well. Even though when i said that to Anita about Poppy being a joy this Christmas Anita commented that Poppy was not always a joy at the time.

  3. Have a wonderful, magical day for Christmas tomorrow. Your new house looks fantastic, with all those lovely walks etc.

  4. We’re glad you love our blog. We’ve been productive on there recently. So many beautiful photos and videos that need sharing.

    This is the first Christmas that Page understands, so it will be exciting when we finally let her rip! Though we do understand what Anita says too …

  5. And to you! We hope you have a great day too.

    We just might have to move Christmas a little earlier. I am not sure that I can resist the impatience of my girls. They are very persuasive.

We had so much fun at Kai’s B-day party at Netflix!

Afterwards we popped upstairs to see Dada’s office. Page preferred the MAC setup. Future nerd in the making…
