Photos from Christmas (25 December 2003):

I took these pictures with the digital camera that my parents gave me for Christmas.





My six-year-old cousin Anna, being fresh





Anna, with her new Christmas twins. She told me that the boy's real name is Daniel, but that she calls him Dan, and that the girl's real name is Allie, but whose nickname is Alyssa. She announced that they're going to become a big part of her life.





This is the second of two pictures that Anna asked me to take of her dolls. She wanted them "against different backgrounds".





My cousin's wife Kate, with their baby daughter. This is Elliot's first Christmas.





My fifteen-year-old cousin Jonny, holding Elliot so that her parents could eat. He paced the house with her, holding her and bouncing her lightly. Having younger siblings has helped Jonny to be very good with babies.

My two-year-old cousin Jayden was all over the place on Christmas! As always, he was very active. Here, he's standing beside his mother, my Aunt Rachel. You can tell it's not the best picture of him.





My grandparents' living room was jam-packed with family! From left to right: Uncle Jon, Ma, and Grammy





Jayden sits with his daddy, my Uncle Jon, and plays with one of his new toys.





My eleven-year-old cousin Bayley poses for a picture.





Bayley's 21-year-old brother sat across the room from me. I think James is trying to shoot at me here. = )





My nineteen-year-old cousin Carla and her mother, my
Aunt Karen, smile for the camera.





Colleen gave me an autographed Michael Waltrip T-shirt for Christmas. As you can see, my favourite NASCAR driver personalised it!





At home, TT falls asleep on the couch with the hand mixer that Colleen gave him for Christmas.





My half-ragdoll cat Mulder licking his chops ...





... in the middle of investigating my Christmas gifts.





Scully had a tiring Christmas.
