Hello world! Merry Christmas, Happy New Years, Happy Holidays, etc!

Xmas was great this year! We had all the family over except for Sarah who has been in Ghana for a few weeks and I believe is there for another week still. You can see her blog here: http://sarahbearinghana.blogspot.com/ Here is a picture of everyone at xmas including Sarah (via satellite):

It was lots of fun! The fam-damnly cooked yummy pies!

We also took a FREEZING walk down by the river, but sadly, the carousel was closed.

It was serious fun hanging out with everyone! We had a great xmas (which we held on the 23rd since people had to work on the 24th and 25th). Then on the 26th, Molly, Alexia, Katy and I all went to Edgefield. Unfortunately I have no pictures from this trip, but it was simply a great time with lots of great seasonal beers and pizza and such.

Happy New Years to you all! Dont forget to give yourself a new year resolution, otherwise you will not have anything to break later in the year. Honestly though, the best most of us can hope for is to keep out reolutions throughout most of the year. Hell, even 3 months would probably be a long time to keep promises to ourselves!
