I hope everyone's holiday was as bright and sparkly as our's was (minus the flu + strep throat combo we all shared).
We were lucky enough to have shared this time with Terry's mom and cousins and uncles and aunts and my grandparents. It was fantastic. And had I felt a tiny bit better that day, I would have been more on my game and taken more pictures.
There was even a little bit of snow- just enough for the girls (and a few adults too) to use their new saucers to go flying down the hill next to my folks' house. And again, while there's no photographic evidence of this, there is a pair of jeans with a hole in the butt to show for all the fun that was had. (I went a good 20 mph faster than everyone else and landed in a hedge of thorns and holly. Baby got back.)
Terry scored big this Christmas. My dad made him a new guitar. And me oh my... it is beautiful! I will upload pictures of it soon. We all played some bluegrass classics, a few Sweetheart of the Rodeo numbers, some Leonard Cohen, and even a Linda Ronstadt tune together. The best.
Happy 2011 to everyone. I virtually kissed each of you at midnight too. (I would check to make sure you didn't get a virtual case of strep throat though.)

Sounds like a beautiful holiday 'cept for the phlegmy parts!
(Just to highlight our parallel universes - Jeff got a new guitar for Christmas too.)
Happiest New Year!
Happy Christmas and New Year to you, Baby Got Back! ROFL! Here are some cowgirl boots to go with your blue grass music, as evidence of snow on Christmas Day!
