Holiday! Celebrate!

This year, another baby boy was added to the mix--my newest nephew, Aidan. At three months he is cuter and chubbier than ever! Here are Billy and I taking turns with the little guy....

~ ICE SKATING ~

This year, for the first time ever, Yountville set up a faux ice-skating rink right next to one of our favorite restaurants, Bottega. It was a very attractive set up, with lights everywhere, cozy chairs and fire pits to ward off the chill. One night, we even saw a horse-drawn carriage traveling down the street.
