We got a little creative on the Xmas tree this year.  We were running a bit behind on getting one, then it started raining so much we couldn't get one and get it dry!  He just happened to have a ladder sitting in the great room, so we decided to decorate it with lights, ornaments, and a star on top.  It looks even better in person!  Rich and Mac still insist that this is better than the "upside-down" Xmas tree that Cindy has been lobbying for!

Here are Hannah and Mac on 12/16 dressed for their school days.  Hannah was allowed to not wear a uniform if she wore red and green to school.  Mac had her annual Crazy Dress Day. She kicked off her outfit with a slice of pizza suit and took it from there!

This is our mantel decorated for Christmas with a lovely model in front.

Rich and Cindy had a weekend in Las Vegas courtesy of the Microsoft Christmas Party.  It was fun to do something other than "house work" for a few days!
