more color from December

    I'm glad the new profile photo is going over well. It was unearthed during the family-tree work with my aunt. My 1 1/2-year-old fashion sense was pretty keen.
    A few more winter/Christmas pictures for your perusal:
The SWC snow elves, shoveling during the Dec. 1 snowstorm.
Four-foot tree. One-foot topper.
My favorite ornament always goes in the same spot on the tree...
...which wasn't really on fire, even though it kind of looks like it.
There's also a smaller version, in the dining room window.
Christmas Eve was at a high-class place; the decor was pretty swank and I mostly just tried to keep myself out of the way.
