Francesca's first real taste of Christmas.
Kristen's company threw a Christmas party with a female Santa Claus. The founder and Engineering VP (Kristen) are women.	The two most beautiful women at the party. (In the opinion of the web master.)
Francesca caught on to the spirit of Christmas very quickly. She sat on Santa's lab and collected her book and Grinch doll. Halfway back to "Mommy", she stopped, put down her presents and ran back to Santa to collect another set of presents.

Meanwhile, back at home on Somerset Way ...
Francesca got a few grooming lessons from Grandad.
Not surprisingly, Francesca catches on quick and gives as good as she receives.

Francesca is starting to accumulate an extended family. Here are some of them.

Oh Yes -- almost forgot. Christmas brings Christmas presents to little ones.
Here is the Electric Scooter. Yes, she actually rides it!	A family of race fans naturally start Francesca out with a car.
Grandparents are a little more sedate. They gave her a rocking chair.	Francesca loves Curious George but it drives Homer (the dog) crazy.

Last summer, Francesca took several tries before putting different shaped blocks in the correct hole in their container.
Now she puts each one away immediately and without hesitation!	We had to include Grammie Meiere's favorite picture.
