We've fallen a little behind in our posting but we're determined to wrap up 2011 and eventually move into 2012.
In that old holiday tradition, Pleasant got an appointment that day for her first professional haircut. She's neither giving orders nor crying in this photo, but in fact seemed to have a fine time with her own personal airplane, cartoons and lollipop.
Trautt family photo at the hair salon - very cute new bob.
We had a relaxing day of shopping and eating, plus some time to just visit.
Pleasant is getting good enough with her balance that she's giving the adults tips now on curb-walking.
From Trautt tree...
... to Keenan tree - back home for Christmas Eve night so we could wake up at home for Christmas morning.
After exchanging gifts, we took a little drive up the coast to Malibu to spend a relaxing late morning at the beach. In a way, this is how the holidays should be - easy and relaxing.
Patrick's friend Zache was kind enough to invite us to his house for Christmas dinner - tasty food and good company.
All in all a really nice Christmas break and a nice way to move into 2012. Happy new year.
