wrapping up a wonderful year...






Our neighbor, Gina Risso, took some great shots of O in November... A resolution for 2010: Sit down and make some real photo albums... and finally finish her baby book... although I've always considered this blog to be her baby book too!

What a year 2009 has been for Le Petit Croissant! I can only imagine the good times ahead!

I look back at all the travel we did with our *baby* the first half of the year: France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, North Carolina... and right now I can't imagine our energetic *toddler* sitting through all the long flights, trains, bus rides, etc! We're happy to stay close to home and play.

We rang in 2009 with 23 people staying at our place in Courchevel and tonight will keep things simple with some friends in Sausalito.... We have so much to be thankful for: our family, friends, health... This past year especially: the challenge in this economy of being able to work for ourselves and spend so much time traveling and at home. Nothing is taken for granted!

Happy New Year! Bonne Année!

christmas dinner, all dolled up!



Little red velvet dress!


Little Santa Edie!


I'm waiting for the photos of them hugging and kissing from Sarah! Note our cute *simple* tree... this year I skipped the ornaments knowing that a certain toddler would pull them off! She loved picking out the tree... and the cats love the evergreen scented water bowl underneath.


I love this! We made several attempts to get a group shot of the three cousins last night! Virtually impossible with a 19 month and 2 1/2 yr old. Eddie was a piece of cake though!

After opening gifts on Christmas morning we walked out our door, up the hills and into the Headlands. What a gorgeous day... what a gorgeous place!
