The Holidays 2007: A Visual Retrospective

Here are some photos from Christmas and New Year's, at last.

Pre-Christmas

Edith and Harry examine the advent calendar

Christmas hugs for Harrison

A very excited Harry heralds Christmas with a Fourth of July Sousa march around the apartment

Santa's pre-Christmas delivery in New Jersey

Christmas Eve


Sprinkling reindeer food (oats and sparkles) in the front yard

Bedtime reading with Mor-mor (Crow Boy, a copy that used to belong to her and her sisters)

Everyone listens

Leaving milk and cookies for Santa, with a note




Christmas Day

(lots of great moments, very few pictures)

Great-Grandmother Mary had trouble remembering names, but she knew the words to "The Night before Christmas"

Tom and Peter poop out on the black forests of an Ansel Adams jigsaw puzzle (!)

Christmas visits with high school friends

With Brian, Rina, and Rory (13 months)

With Claire and Henry (22 months)

With Anna, Matt, and Clare (12 months)

Post-Christmas

With 72 people at the house in Delaware we didn't have much time to get out the camera, but we did get a shot of Great-Great-Aunt-Eleanor with the Lank cousins (and Pop-pop)

New Year's Eve

Back in Jersey, a visit from Rebecca

Becca and Edith take in E's newest favorite imaginary world, Monsters, Inc. "You be Mike Wazowski, and I'm Boo."

That video is *priceless*. Make sure you've got copies in multiple formats. :)

Also interesting to me is how much Peter's speech patterns when talking to Edith are similar to yours.

Tom looks really good in the leather jacket in that one shot. :)

I need copies of the New Year's pics!

I think that's everything. :) Talk to you soon!
