Christmas and NYE 2011

I didn't intend on having one of those "It's been a while since I posted anything..." or "Long time, no post!" type blogs. Yet, worked picked up and available time to update the blog was swallowed up by protocols, reports, risk management, testing, and meetings. I don't really do too much work on a computer once I'm home either because I'm sick of them by then. And alas, blog posts become more infrequent...

Anyway, I've got a chance right now (it being a rainy Friday and all - meaning no work will get done) to upload some pictures from Christmas. We didn't end up taking as many as we probably would have liked, and a bunch were blurry and dark (must have been the wine), but there were defintely a few keepers.

Hmmmm, let's start off with one that really captures the Christmas spirit. Family, hanging out together, after a nice meal, a few glasses of wine, two shots of chartreuse, and - of course - group karaoke and air guitar.

We got to celebrate Christmas with our cousins... and the Easter Bunny?

Looks like Crystal was on the "naughty" list this year....




































And of course, no Christmas is really Christmas without the family portrait....

And a few from New Year's Eve. I call this one "The Girls"

And if we just walk onto the roof our our friend Brandon's apartment buidling, we can watch the San Francisco NYE fireworks at the Embarcadero :-) Best display of fireworks I have ever seen, even if there were a few building tops making it harder to see the lower ones...



The fireworks really were fantastic. I remember back in the days of the Granville, MA fireworks show for Fourth of July, and they were awesome. But it was like "Ooooh! That one had TWO colors!" Nowadays it's like "WOW! That's a 3D box and a smiley face!" (Sorry, I didn't get any photos of the 3D box or smiley face fireworks)...

But I did get a photo of these smiley faces that night on the roof...

Pretty soon, TRN will be turning 2,000 hits old! I look forward to posting something then too, assuming work isn't too hectic of course...
