This is the first time in five years that Cindy and I have been home for the holidays.  It was a very white Christmas in Virginia, thanks to the huge snow storm we got a few days ago.  Fortunately, temperatures warmed up and we got a little rain that has started the melt of the snow – now it’s just a slush mess.  We spent most of the day with my brother and his family.  It was very relaxing and really great to see everyone.

Carter found his way under the tree and picked out what he was certain was his gift…and proceeded to unwrap it, a bit agressively.
