i had a holly jolly christmas.

it was, perhaps, the best time of the year! :)

I don't have a lot of time since tomorrow morning we're leaving for snowshoe, so all you get for now is a bunch of pictures!

a few fun factoids though...
~that santa? his beard is REAL.
~my coat is not actually that green.
~tonya and I had cute ribbon necklaces, do you see?
~matt totally violated the "limit" we set. and I'm quite sure I don't care. :)
~see those sock monkey pjs that match my sock monkey slippers? matt gave those to me on christmas eve, since I'm used to getting presents on chrismas eve. he is a cute one, he is, he is.
~the polar express is a most excellent movie. I always loved the book but I'd never seen the movie.
~love actually is good, too. :)

and? matt and I both agreed that this was probably the best christmas we've both had in a long long time. yay!

oh, and ps: I'm going to be in the KD magazine--which picture should I use? Matt took them--and the picture on the brick was HIS idea. I swear, he's a way better photographer than he gives himself credit for...
