A White Christmas

Christmas this year was a special treat: we had snow! Smack in the middle opening presents, someone looked up and shouted and suddenly we were all outside in it. Very cool.

No family gathering is complete without some kind of card game making an appearance.

For some reason, Syd cannot get enough of sneaking into Boscoe's crate.

Papa & Tutu probably hadn't seen snow on Christmas since back in the days of South Dakota.

Awww, snow angels. Jill's in denial and still dressed like it's July.

Yeah, she was not cool with this. The hat, being outside in her pj's...whatever it was, she was having none of it.

Lynn & Rich don their gay apparel (whose idea were these hats, anyway?)

We hosted everyone for Christmas prime rib dinner: Tutu, Papa, Doug, Lis, Drew, Rich, Lynn, Rick & Marilynne.

...And at the kids' table with Sydney (so sorry): Jill, Hayley & Michael.

In case you were wondering, yes, that is my child wearing the tree skirt as a cape.
