Christmas, 2002

This year Taliesin's Nana and Opa van Lidth de Jeude, Nana and Grosspappa Roemer, Auntie Julia and Uncle Adrian all came to Bowen Island for Christmas. Also the dogs were all there: Juniper, Tiel, Pepper, and Felix. After a few days everyone went home again, and we went to celebrate Christmas with Taliesin's 3rd family: Grandpa Gallaher, Hermila, Auntie Breelana, Auntie Mischa, Mitch and Hannah. Wow. What a lot of people he has in his families! After that we went to celebrate New Years in Sorrento. Taliesin didn't really know what to think of the snow. He touched it very tentatively, but that was it. He was also very frightened by the strange man he didn't know who kept following us! That strange man was his own Pappa in a winter coat.
