Christmas

I just wanted to apologize to my mom about the last pictures I posted. I didn't realize the first picture was blurry and I'm sorry I didn't remove the red eye on the others. I'm sure I've shamed you ;)

I got this Christmas getting to know you in an e-mail, so i thought if I was going to take the time to fill it out, I would make all of you read it too:)
