Christmas is long gone, but not the photo's. We open presents at the crack of dawn at our house, so nobody looks particularly lovely, but the fun we're having is apparent on our faces. Here's a few of my favorite shots from Christmas 2011:
It's hard to get excited about shaving cream,
but it's easy to crack up at a smart remark from one of the kids.
Jordan liked his "Mom's Cookie of the Month" gift.
A batch of his favorite cookies the 25th of every month during 2012.
I think he's laughing because on the calendar,
I also happened to include Mother's Day, Father's Day,
and everyone's birthday -
Jordan tends to be forgetful of these important dates.
Santa brought me a Hard Rock Cafe Couture shirt.
Like I said, it was really early...
Grant, our Trekkie, got an Enterprise Pizza Cutter. Made his day.
I made 1940 style aprons for Meredith and myself. Why not?
And with the extra fabric, I whipped up a bag for her to carry her laptop in while walking to class.
It just wouldn't be Christmas without a Georgia O'Keefe calendar - I'm serious. I love her art.

Grant's stylin'
Jordan now has no excuse for taking all my flatware up to his room. He's got his own set.
While taking Christmas down and storing it away for another year, i found I needed a big box and headed to the shed in the backyard to find one. You just never know when you'll discover a treasure in the shed or on the side of an old box:
I think Meredith must have been around 12 years old when she wrote that. Truth be told, she still hates math and loves art.
Friday morning, 30 December 2011, we had a gorgeous sunrise. I grabbed my camera and perched in front of my office window and snapped a few photo's:

Hope you are well. i have been a bad blog buddy but I see it has been a while since you blogged. My wife is addicted to aprons and Ms Okeefe spent a good deal of time up here in the panhandle and the museum in Canyon has a nice exhibit about her and her work.
