just a few more pictures...

Here are a few more of our Christmas images. Raine has been bothering the cat more than ever, much to the delight of both. Here they are in a mutual admiration conversation.

Before we left for North Carolina, we opened a few gifts at home. Carl gave Raine a very cool ton-ton sleeping bag (as in The Empire Strikes Back). It has a light saber for a zipper pull, a plush head, arm, leg and tail, and the fabric on the interior of the bag looks like intestines. Raine loves it.



We went to see the movie Avatar, which was good. Raine thought the 3D glasses were cool, while I just thought she looked really cute in them.

Finally, we made it home, and flew into El Paso in good weather, spent the evening without a drip of moisture in the air, ignore those clouds, will ya? And in the morning.... winter wonderland.
