The Holidaze!

Christmas officially starts when Tammie arrives for the holidays from Montana and we get to spend a few days together. She's sporting her new Tipsy VinPixie shirt - a collaborative design between me, Tam and Vince.  Love it!





Presents!





Oh my God! A box of Teuscher Champagne Truffles!!!


Some hiking is in order...



Zuri exhausted from all the unwrapping...





Christmas Day at Marla's



A pause between celebrations:


Hanging with Chris, Eiko and Sophie:




Spent a wonderful day with my cousins.  This is Roscoe, 130 pounds of pure love and affection.  He thinks he's a lap dog, it's pretty funny watching him try to fit on your lap.



Here's Piper - the real boss of the house:


My cousin Beau - A boy and his dog:


We took a great hike right outside of Bobby's door.  When we got to the top of the hill the view of the valley is spectacular.  You can also see how dry it is here.  I'm praying for rain big time!


Lap dog!


Visiting Mom and Uncle Bob in Santa Barbara.  It was such a gorgeous day.  I'm enjoying the crisp fresh air.  It's been a real winter this past few weeks.  Coats in the daytime!!!







And if wouldn't be the holidays without shooting the annual D'Ovidio Christmas Card...

Getting in the Spirit of Christmas - 2015


Tamale Season!  My dear sister-in-laws Christmas tradition.  Extra good this year with the veggie ones - mushroom and eggplant = yum!

Garden of Paradise - A Week in Kauai

To say that Kauai is good for the soul is an understatement.  To Vince and I it feels like we've come home.
