The Unofficial Holiday Card
My mom has been trying for years to get a Christmas card together, but her chronic procrastination coupled with the resistance of my brother and I to take a picture for her has delayed this effort for some time! She claims to have until Jan. 6th to get her "Holiday/'Seasons Greetings'" cards out, so this New Years we took the picture! Here are three of our "Holiday Photos" -- one of my brother and I, one of "us kids" (Ryan and I, our cousin LouLou, and our cousin-in-law (and by choice!) Ben!), and one of the whole family. LouLou and Ben came up from St. Louis for a few days, which is always fun because they rock and it's nice to have family close by!
