Hi,
Everett, Margot & Dylan arrived on Dec 21 after an uneventful flight. I would not have recognized Mr. Kickypants if he hadn't been attached to Margot. He reminded me a lot of my dad with his big head and smiley face.

We've had a pretty busy week with Everett meeting a lot of people. The day after he arrived he met a bunch of my friends during my annual Gal's Night Out dinner. He was attached to Dad most of the night and was a perfect gentleman. He loved all the attention.

Christmas eve was another things... 27 adults plus little kids. He was worn out half way through the night. Lots of talking and cooing. Loved Kim's brothers especially Wendland who has a big, round smiley face. He hung out in the front room with the guys for awhile and chatted. Everett really wants to communicate with folks. He gets quite agitated when they ignore him.

He loved talking to everyone. On Christmas morning Mom and Dad took lots of photos of him in his Daddy's baby Santa suit. Such a cute Santa. He helped Mommy open all his gifts. He got a lot of nice books. Now Mom and Dad have to figure out how to get it all home.

After opening presents we travelled to my mom's home. It was just a small gathering so Everett had some down time and got to chat with everyone. Hii-obachan (great grandmother) was really taken by Everett. He loves to talk to her. He was upset when she was ignoring him but once she said 'hello' he brightened up and started talking non stop. She doesn't fly because of her emphysema, but plans to go down to Texas for his 1st birthday.

The rest of the time has been spent visiting friends or hanging around the house. Dylan was in SF for 2 days, on his own, taking photos. We went to dim sum one day...unfortunately Everett only got formula. We'll be visiting more friends the next couple of days then going to San Jose to help prepare food for New Year's Day celebration.

That's all for now...Margot will post photos as soon as she has a chance to upload them...
