Christmas 2005... Took me back to the USA! First stop, quick weekend in Florida via Atlanta.
Me with the Browning twins...
Grandma is trying to be cute...
Aaaahhh!! I'm being hugged by Aunt Donna! :)
With Grandma and Grandpa
With the other Grandma and Grandpa!
On our way to the airport.. this is the only time we got to put the top down in three days!
Back in MI, Dad and Jay have a glass to warm them up before heading out to... put up more lights probably!
Joey shows off his footwear... Maddie is most disturbed by the color of his hair though!
She's thinking... who the heck is holding me!
Ian was extremely excited about his new sweatshirt!
All the cousins... except for Adrienne. We'll have to photoshop her in.
Putting up the tree at the cottage at 4am.
Jason provides a little mood music. Bob Marley wasn't really what the rest of us had in mind though...
Christmas morning... Dad gets a map!
And... hold on... is that a... spinnaker? I'm having flashbacks to Christmas 2002...
Joe's all geared up for the mountains. Note to self: don't wear a harness with out underwear.
Look out at the lake.
I have no idea what Paul and Alexis are doing... but it's funny.
After breakfast it was time for a nap...
And a nap.
Later we all got up to play Hot Potato... or whatever this thing is called. The mood was tense as you can see.
I'm relieved as I pass the buzzer off to Ashleigh.
Meanwhile, Jason puts the new glass doors on the fireplace. But what is he watching?
Back to Hot Potato, Tony and Paul seem to know the answer but Adrienne and I are stumped.
After we settle down, we move to the living room to play another of Adrienne's games.
Ashleigh, Jason and Tony go out to inspect the shore.
We're told that just a week before the roof was covered in 3ft of snow.
After lunch we headed out for some skiing. Paul is going for the vintage look.
Joey and I showed up a little later...
Mom and Aunt Alicia show off their fake fur hoods.
On the Hemlock chair... like the good old days!
The Gang
I just like this pic 'cause of the lighting... and that you can see everyone standing around in Jason's goggles!
Here's me ripping in the mink hat on Mom's skis.
Meanwhile back at the lodge... Tony and Adrienne hold the table.
Alexis and Ashleigh tired after a wet couple hours on the hill.
My smile was weak 'cause I was having a hard time finding a decent beer in the place.
Bonnie and Clyde hit the arcade. I'm not sure what's funnier... Mom's expression or Dad's hat.
Like brother, like sister. Thanks for the new pink undies Aunt Alicia!
Playing Joey's game... Jason and Ryan are less than interested 'cause they keep loosing.
Aaaahh. The Family Portrait.
My favorite of the 15 trees in the house.
And the lights outside aren't half bad either.
New Year's Eve wine tasting at The Rowe Inn.
Dad and Joey deep in conversation. No doubt about the quality of the 1998 vintage.
Joe really looks up to mischief in this photo!
And there you have it... our last picture of 2005. There is a picture of me at the airport on Jan 1, but I look like crap so I didn't put it. No... not because I was up all night partying, hardly! I was up all night packing!
