Great snow year in Maine! We finally got to meet Owen, now 7 months old and born while we were in Namibia, and see the parents new house, which was completed around the time we landed in Kashmir, India.
After a little family ski trip we visited Chris and Ashirah's cabin.
Owen tries his hand at tickling the Ivories – he did ok on the rhythm, and even came in on the right note once or twice
On to the Plumbs house for Christmas Eve. First a good lunch, which included some yummy pickles, and an entire crate of oranges which had just arrived. Lucas re-distributed the oranges for entertainment before we shipped him back :)
Zia has the whole tree decoration routine down pretty well. Grandpa is doing just fine, and Lucas is dressed up as a Nigerian Prince! Frank's sister Beth is also living in Portland and came over to join the festivities.

Christmas Day
Seems like I got better pictures before the actual Christmas day, or maybe stopped carrying the camera around quite so much, but here's a few more.
