The stores have started to put up Easter decor, so I figured it was high time I posted our holiday pictures.
This year, our dreams of a white Christmas came true
and we savored every moment.


(At least some of us did.)

We had a holly jolly time in Bluefield
and then we returned to Roanoke to spend the night of Christmas Eve.
Christmas morning was pure joy.
Then we headed to Tampa to ring in the New Year
Alex encountered some familiar faces
as well as some unfamiliar ones.




He spent a lovely day in Tarpon Springs with the cousins
and observed long-standing family traditions.
2010 was indeed a blessed year for us.
