Merry Christmas 2008

Here is our Family Christmas Picture for Christmas 2008. We couldn't get the cats to behave for the picture (they take after me) so we left them out. It's sweltering holiday weather here, except for the sudden unexpected showers that soaked my dry clothes that were hanging on the line this morning.

Here is the aloe plant we chose for our tree this year, mostly since it was the only foliage not completely devoured by the 4,572 species of ants that make our house their home.

We are celebrating one year of marriage on December 29, and we have had a great year, for which we are very thankful. We wish all our friends and family a great Christmas and a fantastic 2009!
