Sasha donned the Santa hat and started doing laps around our kitchen island. Only she knows why. But it was darned cute.

2008 Christmas Letter
Greetings from the Rottons:
Mark, Tracy, Sammy & Sasha
It’s been an exciting year for the Rottons.
On July 11, at 2:43 in the morning, we
welcomed Alexandra Elaine Rotton into the
family. She weighed in at 8 lb 8 oz and is a
healthy and active bundle of energy. We
call her “Sasha” (it’s the Russian equivalent
of “Alex”).
Sammy is now a very precocious three year
old. He recently switched to a new
preschool located in the same building in
which Tracy works. With Sasha there too,
the whole family gets to be together every
day.
Mark and Tracy are still working for Discovery Communications. We invite everyone to enjoy the fine programming on the Discovery Channel’s family of networks. You can keep up with all our happenings on our newly relaunched blog: http://family.rotton.com/
You can also follow us on Twitter! Mark is @atarinut, Tracy is @taupecat and Sammy is @sammyrotton. (Sasha will get her account when she learns to talk. 🙂 )

Sixth Photo Meme

Following @veronica‘s example, I’m posting the sixth photo on the sixth page of my Flickr photostream. Here we see my mom’s cousin Connie with Sammy taken when she last visited us on January 21, 2007. Sadly, the focus on this picture is a bit off, but the look on Sammy’s face is priceless!
Thanksgiving Weekend
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with Grandmommy & Uncle Brian. After a delicious dinner on Thursday, we went for a nice walk at the C&O Canal on Friday. Saturday night we checked out the Garden of Lights display at Brookside Gardens.
