A Series of Belated Posts: #1 Christmas

So, we've been noticeably absent from the blogosphere for quite awhile. The family has just been too darn busy. Dad's been busy at work -- you know, the job he actually get paid for. Mom has been. . . well, I'm not sure what Mom does all day (?). Thatch and Ellie have been busy loggin a bunch of firsts: First Christmas morning, first hike in the woods, first time in snow, first taste of solid foods, and first time Dad hasnt been shaking in the corner with a bottle of Jack Daniels every night. Now, things are getting fun. On with the show. . . . .

Christmas eve at Grammies. Dad says Santa Claus leaves better gifts when you leave a cold beer on the table. Thatch is skeptical.
Seven fish is one too many, Grandpap!!

Nevertheless, nearly everyday we get bundled up for a walk around town. Sometimes, we stop by to see our good friends. (Psst. Thanks to Ms. Baer for the really nice hats!! We cant wait to see Grace and her new little brother!!).

Once we're in bed, We're pretty sure Mom and Dad party every night. They put us in bed before the ball dropped on New Years. Jerks. I got you Auld Lang Syne right here, old man.
