We escaped what would have been a very white Christmas by flying out to LAX on the 24th, where Eva was treated the next morning with a visit from Santa Claus! (Poppy unfortunately missed the visit, as he'd left for an early morning run to the store. Such bad timing!) We then proceeded to have a wonderful day, including a delicious dinner with the Ouelettes and dessert with Rick, Mimi and AJ.
We returned later in our journey to celebrate New Year's before flying back to Boston, our trip punctuated by several trips in glorious weather to the local playground, one critical visit to In-n-Out, and lots of quality time spent together with Grammy, Poppy and Tio Loco.

Eva meets St. Nick.
Apparently taking her balmy surroundings as a cue, Eva insisted upon a swimsuit as proper Christmas morning attire (after demanding the red velvet dress in the first picture be removed).
Delighted by her first gift of jewelry - from Daddy, of course.
Climbing trees in the park with Daddy and Tio Tod (good thing there were responsible adults around!)
Hard at work sorting tanbark with Poppy at the playground.
Touring the La Mirada playground with her new BFF, Tiana the frog (sorry, Trudie!)
Delighted by her new swing buddy (and her long-time swing pusher)
A rare sighting of the legendary Dancing Toddler before a stunning California sunset.

It looks like your trip was a blast. Eva is becoming such a little lady!
Is Tiana the Frog from "The Frog and the Princess"? I liked that movie! Of course, I like all kids movies.
Where, oh where, is my little Sweetie-Pea? Of course, when I called her that, she informed me she was "Eva." Where does she get all that emphaticness?
