Merry belated Christmas!

The wrapping paper is cleaned up, the bows are put away, but the tree still remains! Not sure when that is coming down, but it’s too pretty to take down just yet. Besides, I am not really looking forward to that explosion of pine needles that we call “removing the decorations?!”

Jess and I had a very relaxing Christmas holiday, getting in time with her Uncle/Aunt and their family, her Grandma and cousins, my Uncle/Aunt and their family, and her parents. We spent most of Christmas day at her parents house and it was quite relaxing! Except for the first part, which is when we take the annual “everyone-sit-in-front-of-the-tree-and-pose” picture, which is always quite an event. Most of the pictures are of that production, which was quite the entertainment the first Christmas I spent with them. Now I get sucked into it with the rest and hope I come out smiling!

I hope everyone had an enjoyable and safe holiday!
