Paul, Andrew, Philip, Joel, and Joshua

Dad with Mr. Puddles

Lynne getting some advice from Philip and Andrew

 

 

Ohy, I am not sure what else I can say...

 

Imad, Jonathan, Andrew and Ellen

Imad gives Jonathan reverse engineering advice on how to assist Uncle Paul in gift opening.

Ellen, Andrew, and Mimi watch Philip as he does the dance of presents in the immediate future.

Uncle Paul could not get his gift open so Jonathan and Andrew helped.

Juju and Granddad contemplate the loot.

Trying to get a picture of Fitz, Lindy, and me in front of our tree for my Grandmothers.  This was the closest the dogs came to cooperating!  Christmas 2002.

 

 

2001...

This is our living room Christmas 2001.  Take note of the large snowman, I love big plastic Christmas kitsch and Paul surprised me with this on a Sunday morning just after Thanksgiving 2000

 

2000...

Every other year Paul and I run away and have Christmas by ourselves.  In 2000 we celebrated in New Orleans.  In the past we have run away to Paris (too cold in December) and Key West (temperature is just right but you have to schedule too far in advance for our organizational skills).
