Christmas Pictures

I know it's maybe a little pathetic that it took this long, but the Xmas 2004 pictures are finally up! But in my defense, it is very time-consuming to get them web-ready and then to make all of the links in the blog. At any rate, the pictures appear in the following blog entries:

Dec. 15th

Dec. 18th

Dec. 22nd

Dec. 26th

Dec. 31st

And here are some more pictures that didn't necessarily get integrated:

Smooch
A very lucky horse.

Samurai Horse
The tuft of hair that looks like it's coming out of its chin is actually just the end of its lovely braided hair.

Timid Kitty
This is a very shy stray that is only brave enough to show up for food every day. Any kind of relationship beyond that is out of the question.

Pearl - Posessed Cat
No really... she is posessed.

Samuel, Sam, Samson
Not posessed... just a darn good cat!

Artistic Distraction?
The sun was coming through the window, making this houseplant glow. I liked the picture, but it's also been "Photoshopped".

Cold!
Another one of those "artsy" pictures... ice on a pond.

Fish Pond
Same pond that was in the pictures from our Oregon Summer, but this time the fish are hibernating.

Once A Year
Quite a lot of egg-nog was consumed. This brand was the house favorite. But there's a reason you only drink this once a year.

Fermental
I, however, stuck largely to the Northwest winter ales.

Fluffy Blanket
Another picture taken on the way from London, before reaching Greenland.

Friends
Bob, Margaret and Emma. Friends of ours from Seattle (near there anyway).

Happy Campers
K and J-Mom in the back of the "spaceship". We're on our way to the Markum Inn.

A Sign
The sign at the above-mentioned restaurant.

MMMMenu
Menu from the same restaurant. Just order the Double Jumbo Markum Burger with Fries. You don't even need to consider anything else!

Just What She Wanted
J delving into her Christmas stocking.

Two Fools
But we shine up real nice!

The Gals
J-Mom and her two lovely off-spring.

Me and Dad'n'Bev
One fool posing with K's Dad and stepmom. The tree came for the eggnog.

Godiva's Competition
Still working on the recipe, but we're almost there.

Chocolatiers
In the process of making the above-mentioned chocolates. The filling is made from Danish marzipan.
