This is what getting up so early does to Scott. He hates having his picture taken and I warned him if he didn't take a decent picture I was posting this. He didn't seem to care, so here it is! Also he seems to have needed a razor for Christmas. 
Yes, this is what this man really looks like! Our history books must be wrong, Abe is still alive! Joshua was so excited to have his picture taken with him and wants to have a copy to show his teachers when he returns to school. (Lonnie is so used to this he was so kind to have his picture taken with the kids. He does profit from his unique look. He plays Abe Lincoln for events)
Meaghan, my baby sister, turned 18 on the 21st. We had her birthday dinner the night of the 22nd, after our return from In. It was a long day!
We celebrated Christmas with my mom and step-dad, Steve, on the 23rd. Here is a rare picture of us. My mom also hates cameras, but she did this for me! Here's my mom, me and Steve.
On Christmas Eve, we celebrate Christmas with my dad's side of the family. This is a picture of one of our games. We played Taboo and it was a fun time. Thankfully, no blood was shed, it can get rough with this family. Joan is trying to get her team to guess, Scott holds the buzzer, and I'm not sure what Paul is doing. (He is Martha's brother)
This is Joshua and Andrew proudly displaying their favorite Christmas gifts. We bought two rats for them. Yes, I said rats! They are very clean animals and can be trained like dogs. Joshua has named his Heidi, and Andrew has Sandy. The tail was the biggest part for me to overcome, but I'm now used to it. We all are having lots of fun with them.
I pray you all have a Happy New Year!!!

Belated Merry Christmas! Love that photo of your husband. You realize that they're going to kill us for these pictures one day, don't you?
I warned him! He didn't care at the time, he hasn't seen the post yet.....
Ooh! I love the rats. Rats make great pets!
Ahhh, yes. . .game time on Chester Rd - what memories. Remember when Ed would pace around the table and give everyone hints until he was thrown out of the room?! Is there some reason that you mention that you have no clue what Paul is doing and the fact he is my brother? :-)
Wow - never thought you looked so much like your Mom! I do not think she looks like she has aged.
As for the rats, my boys liked that picture.
P.S. Is that Rhonda in the right side of the bottom picture?
Ed was there! We did the same thing to him this year also! That is Mary Catherine in the picture. As for Paul, I didn't realize it sounded like that, but if the shoe fits.....
Don't forget, I am really picky about shoes and do not wear all the ones that fit me! :-)
Les,
First of all Joan is going to be very upset that you didn't mention Earl! Lucky for you I don't live close enough to tell her you forgot about him....LOL! Your Mom and Steve look great and I can't believe how grown-up Meghan looks. It has been forever since I have seen them all. Thanks for the update - I promise not to bug you about it for a while (like I am johnny on the spot these days, too)! Love you all and miss you! Hope the New Year is wonderful to ya'll.
