Christmas Vacay

Christmas 2011 Rocked... We spent our time in UT snuggling the puppy, eating sugar, mauling baby Dane with kisses, skyping little Patrick in Brazil, and hanging with the fam.  We ate well, laughed a lot and enjoyed one anothers company...enjoy.  

It's too bad Rocco doesn't get very much attention

Dicing the shallots became too much for my eyes, so out came the snowboarding goggles. 

My brothers and cousins kids came together for a jingle bell medley at the Christmas party.  Needless to say it was adorable and chaotic. 

Meggie didn't put that bear down for a few days

Good lookin' couple

Christmas Eve Dinner - scallops, crab legs, asparagus, salad, creme brulee, beurre blanc sauce = fat + happy

Impromptu prom pose at Jon and Kaylenes

Sweet new board, and even sweeter fake smile

Lauren, Laila, and Megan engrossed in Totoro

We couldn't get enough of cute little baby Dane

Grandma Farrington looking beautiful

Patrick smiling on screen - we sure loved skyping him!  Get that little boy home!



Pretty sure Dane gets 5000 kisses a day

Hello my darlin', hello my baby, hello my ragtime gal

Seussian Taxidermy - the goo-goo eyed Tasmanian Wolghast... my dad made this on a whim.  Awesome!





Brighton night boarding...pretty sure some bums were sore the next day



The annual cookie exchange was held earlier in December, but deserves to be on the blog.  Cookies galore, and many a calorie.  This is an annual tradition not to be missed. 

The ladies of the exchange
