Christmas in Iowa!

We LOVE family!

It's Unacceptable

For me to have a blog, and now the internet, and not have posted any recent pictures! This sad era of my life is about to end. So here are some photos of our recent adventures:*

*Please excuse the pathetic lack of clarity in most of these pics... our camera suffered a little head trauma last August (on Brian's M-Trek) and we just now (Jan '08) got it repaired. It seriously takes us that long to make any kind of financial decision.

Christmas in Iowa with Grandma Hall, Aunt Christy, Uncle Dan, Aunt Rachel, and Uncle Spencer!

Exploring with Uncle Dan

Meeting the Cat Handsome Hall Guys! Isn't the resemblence great??
WHOAH!!!
Santa was feeling generous! Lots and Lots of Grandma time!

No gift receipt here...

Grandma helps Felix open a gift from Aunt Christy!

The holiday wouldn't have been comlete without a major appliance giving out on us.

So we washed our dishes from our delicious Christmas Eve dinner in the bathroom :-)

Wait, Rachel planned and prepared the feast... why is she cleaning up? I think she's off the hook for next year...

Swimming in a sea of paper...

with a bow

In the vein of a true first-time Grandma, Polly wanted to hold Felix around the clock! :-D

Felix loves storytime with Grandma
