Christmastime is here...(Part 3)

By the time we finally made it home, we were happy to be with our little buddies (who celebrated Christmas with the dog walker plus our neighbors who didn't want them to be alone). We were also happy to be back safe and sound in our own beautifully decorated house and with our own tree. Neither of us were all too psyched to pose for more pictures (see images below of Sarah "shunning the paparazzi" and Mike thinking the cat's tail is a candy cane) but when it came time to light the tree and open gifts from each other (as well as from various Angresanos and Brickhouses who sent their gifts from Idaho and Virginia - including from Bob and Hale who had a baby right before the holiday and s-t-i-l-l managed to be timely), we were all smiles.

What a special holiday season it was and how lucky are we to have family who loves us! We are s-s-s-o-o-o tired that we plan to celebrate New Year quietly with a good movie and a warm fire.

All our love,

Sarah and Mike























After a seemingly endless number of flash bulbs popping this holiday season, no more photos, please, Mr. Paparazzi.

















Mike, the cat's tail is not a candy cane (even though Carly seems to be looking on in enjoyment).























Our own 2010 Christmas tree sits with presents yet to be opened!
