Another year, another Christmas. This will be my last christmas while still in College, hopefully, assuming all goes well, next year I'll be working and will not have such a long break.







It's been a dry, mild winter so far. Not even all the leaves have fallen yet! It's not very pretty here without any snow on the ground. Oh well, ya take what ya can get.


Not related to the Holidays, this is Al's stepdad's Honda S2000. It's a very fun car. He came over to take photos of it to create a webpage for selling the car. This was my pick of the photos we took.


Here's my room this winter, no desktop computers with the nice soothing hum to help me sleep, just a couple laptops instead.


And just to be complete, the other half of my room...pretty well unchanged since I've left for school.


My bro and myself, before heading to Christmas Eve church service. He let me borrow his jacket, and I loaned him a tie. One nice thing about having him around, since we can usually wear each other's clothes, that and he has good fashion sense.


O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree...


Left to right... Ryan, Jerry, Shirley, Fiorella, Howard, David. This was the crew for Christmas Eve / Christmas Day.


Waiting in the Kitchen for Christmas Eve Supper, so we can eat and then open gifts!


The TV/Stereo in the kitchen, I was playing around with the lighting settings on the camera. I thought it looked kinda neat.


Grandma & Grandpa searching through this box filled with gifts!


Mom is playing 'santa' this evening, delivering the gifts from under the tree. She notices my very nice color coordination of the blue tag on this package.


Ryan inspects this box before diving in. This was the box with the can of nuts, and a note saying that his package has been delayed due to "unforseen poltical issues in Korea", and that he "shouldn't go nuts waiting" for it to arrive.


The pile of wrapping paper left and a crew exhausted by opening so many gifts.


Christmas Day we took a trip over to the Fahr's. This is me with Olivia.


Mom & Barb, and Grandma in the background.


Barb put's on Evan's christmas present, a chef's jacket. Very cute!


And here's Rob. We used to have the best "conversations". Ah, back in the days when he thought Mac's were awesome.


Back home, Mom prepares dinner


Would it be the holidays without some card playing? No, I don't think so.
