Christmas 2012

 It is undoubtedly Christmas Eve. Bonnie baking cookies in the kitchen, mom and dad doing last minute gift wrapping, Thomas and Hannah's puppy (Pisgah) eating ornaments off the tree, and everyone getting distracted by It's A Wonderful Life, playing on the tv. I think my family is slowly getting less and less secretive about presents...No one really tries anymore to hide them haha.
To the right you may observe our lovely Christmas tree. It is a nice fat tree. You may notice that it is leaning slightly to the left. It would most likely be completely horizontal if it weren't for the black cord connecting the trunk to the window. :)

The parentals   just kicked us out of the down stairs so they could finish wrapping. We migrated up stairs and plopped down on the couches in the living room. Philip is attempting to read the Hobbit. Ruth is on her computer, laughing out loud to herself about who knows what. Bonnie is on the family computer "talking to someone..." haha. And I am blogging.

Me...sporting Dad's glasses that he took to Israel 30 years ago. :)
