CHRISTMAS 2012

JUST A FEW PICTURES FROM CHRISTMAS.   IT WAS PRETTY LOW KEY.   JUST US AND THE BOYS.    BRIAN IS JUST HERE FOR TWO WEEKS AND MARK HAD OFF THE SAME TWO WEEKS.   THEY'VE HAD FUN JUST HANGING OUT TOGETHER, WATCHING MOVIES, PLAYING COMPUTER GAMES, PLAYING BILLIARDS WITH DAD AND PLAYING WITH THE DOGS.  CAN'T ASK FOR MORE THAN THAT.

BRIAN'S FIRST DAY BACK - SHOWING DAD HIS NEW iPHONE 5.  NEWTON WAS VERY EXCITED...."IS THERE A DOG TREAT APP?"

FRESH CHRISTMAS TREES WERE AVAILABLE AT ALMOST EVERY STREET CORNER AFTER THE FIRST WEEKEND OF DECEMBER.  THIS TREE IS PROBABLY 7' TALL AND IT WAS ONLY 23 EURO!  AND BOY DID IT SMELL GREAT!  THE PINE SCENT WAS SO STRONG FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS.

NOT AS MANY ORNAMENTS - BUT WE BROUGHT SOME FROM HOME.  UNFORTUNATELY SOME NICE ONES WERE BROKEN WHEN WE WERE OUT ONE AFTERNOON - THE TREE FELL OVER.   RANDY IS SURE THE DOGS BROUGHT THE TREE DOWN - BUT I THINK IT WAS TILTING ANYWAY - IT WAS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME.

THE BOYS GOT CAP GUNS IN THEIR STOCKINGS!   NEWTON ISN'T A FAN!

THE SUN MAKING AN UNUSUAL APPEARANCE!
