Buon Natale!

Aunt Natalie came to visit last night. And I was totally surprised at how quickly Bee took to her. (He's a bit stand-offish with new folks). Like, he growls at people and makes the most stunning frowns if you ask for a hug. At Thanksgiving, in Phoenix, I found myself apologizing for his rudeness towards his family. But then Natalie stopped by and they just adored her! This morning Hartwell asked, "Can we go to Natalie's house?" They must just sense her amazing spirit.
