Sorry for the poor quality images we took them from our phone, the picture above is something Elizabeth made for Mom and Alex's dog Cha Cha. We thought a cactus would be appropriate for an Arizona dog. We are now back in Virginia but we had a great time visiting for Christmas. Unfortunately I was sick for a large majority of the time but I did recover long enough for some recreation...

We really enjoyed spending time with everybody and Beck was especially funny opening his presents hopefully Adam and Kathryn will post some of the videos of Christmas morning. We also took a video of Elizabeth and Kathryn singing O Holy Night while Mom played the piano, that is also on Kathryn and Adam's camera so maybe they will put that up for everyone to see, maybe. So with a great Christmas behind us, we wish everyone a happy new year!
