Soon I will add some text, but while I am busy putting away all of things from Christmas travels, I thought I'd add a small album of celebration photos. I hope your Christmas was as delightful and full of joy as mine!
Christmas at Uncle Johns' in Michigan. The tree, hearth, table, and everything about the setting was perfect. I am so lucky to have family like this! I woke up to my excited little cousins, received a very helpful explanation about the nature, use, and value of "Webkinz" from my youngest cousin, Julia, watched my Uncle set up the Polly Pockets racing set... so many fun toys to play with! One of the highlights was a framed pastel drawing my cousin Ellen made for Uncle John of Jack at The Cottage. She is very talented and this is just a taste of more to come from her!
Cousin Jack is a particularly lovely Christmas present...!
Cousin Ellen and I showing off our matching stitches!
Cousins Emma, Kim, and Julia

My dear Grandma looking especially beautiful this Christmas
Emma and Julia regaling us with carols
Cooper taking a long winters' nap
The whole family gathered for the karaoke version of Guitar Hero -until you have seen your Grandma sing Coldplay and "Love Shack," you haven't lived...!
Catching up with NEWLY APPROVED PASTOR KELSAY PARKER and her husband Dave in their swanky Coopermobile!
On To Virginia:
I'm not so sure people should be allowed to have this much fun over Christmas vacation! I had a wonderful time with Mom, Dad, Brothers, and Grandma, as well as caught up with dear friends from both High School and Grad School!
A day back at Christ Lutheran, Fairfax:
Monica with her daughter Cassandra and new baby Emma
New members with their baby twins!
Alice
Judy and Lynn Boerger (I really missed their Christmas party this year)
A sleepover with Stephanie Johnson:

Family Tradition: New Years at Esposito's!
Calamari's, the boys' eating pizza, red and white house wine, marinated carrot salad, and the 60 year old Italian waitress/owner hitting on Dad...!

High school friend Jake and I headed to the Italian Embassy for New Years!
Bill and Pat Rodio
Pat has been my self-appointed boyfriend since 2nd grade. Whenever he has met a date of mine he always grabs them by the arm or the collar (whichever is closer) and says, "she's mine - hurt her and I'll break your knees!" Nothing like a good mafia connection to keep the neighborhood chicks safe...!
Mr. Rodio reading his hand-written and very funny poem!
I will try to procure it for you, dear reader
At home on New Years Day:
We always have a bowl of Dad's special Mushroom-Artichoke Soup and this year he also made wings and baked brie - yum!
