Christmas Images

A few quick pics from the Georgia trip.  Our Christmases are not always traditional.  First of all, my nephew Cody, who is a great kid, has broken more bones in the last two years than the rest of my family has combined -- ever.  This presented an opportunity to give him a gift that he could truly use: bubble wrap.

Make sure your mother applies liberally before you go outside.

Macy was showing off her cup stacking skills, something she apparently picked up during gym (?!) recently.  After a while, it naturally occurred to see if we could touch the ceiling.

Nobody breathe.

And what would Christmas in Georgia be without the annual Cataula Poker Challenge.  Who won, you ask?  Here's a clue:

The first two-time winner.

Had to share this -- Macy's Christmas list for this year.  I absolutely love the coy questioning if she's old enough for a cell phone.

The Snowplow Cometh

We made it to Donna's parents' house, a little southeast of Brainerd. The weather forecast is for the entire United States to get around 400 inches of snow, so we may be staying here longer than we anticipated. They're actually calling for 12-18 inches this evening into tomorrow, with some areas getting up to 22 inches. That's perfect, because there's nothing I like more at the holidays than driving 200 miles at a slow crawl on icy roads so I can get home and shovel the driveway.
