Usually we get 1 or 2 days of snow ... this year, it's been snowing from mid-December until mid-February. It's a magical city in the snow, and turns out to be a good break from the rain. Amsterdammers are pretty hard core, nothing takes them off their bikes - this lady is biking through the park (the box in front where kids usually sit).To escape the snowiest January in history, we flew to Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt (sort of like the Cabo of Mexico). With the exception of one visit to the town to get diapers, we stayed resortside ... eating, relaxing in the sun, and swimming in the Red Sea. Tate loved the sun after an initial squinting of the eyes and faint cries upon seeing it for the first time. Can't blame the girl, she'd been trapped in 20 degree Amsterdam weather.

Finally, USA for the holidays! We started off our tour in Atlanta introducing Tate to the Willis crew. When we weren't stuffing our faces with Chick-fil-A, we were hanging out with family, Gene's friends, and loving watching Tate play with her cousins. We then flew to LA to be with my sister and family for a few days and then we all drove to San Diego to celebrate mom's big 60th birthday at the beach. Most comedic part was by far when we had Tate & her cousin Maddy do a Babies-R-Us photo shoot...we do have video if you need a laugh.
Tate was a rockstar on all the flights - it's the coming back home and dealing with baby jetlag that has been brutal. But hey, much rather have a screaming child in the comforts of home than trapped on a plane with angry passengers! Click here for the pics.
