Christmas 2009!

We know that we are actually posting this in March but that is so that we can take full advantage of the 2010 Christmas shopping season. It should be starting any day now.
Our season started with home made hats.

It continued with decorating.

Here we are making cookies to deliver to all of the neighbors we still have not met. We did not meet many of our neighbors because we ate most of the cookies and decided that delivering an empty paper plate and forcing them to listen to our caroling was not the way to make a first impression. From our caroling experience we recommend "We wish you a merry Christmas!" sung quickly and enthusiastically. Rudolph the red-nosed Reindeer was waaaaay too long and made both performers and forced listeners clearly uncomfortable.
We went to cousins in Salt Lake City to celebrate part of the time. I do not know if this is a photo of elves or what.

Finally a posed picture for posterity. Happy Holidays come and gone!
