Thanks, Santa!

I'm happy to report that Brian & I had a wonderful Christmas surrounded by family. And Brian's parents gave us a much-needed gift: a very nice Canon digital camera.

It'll take me some time to figure out the gadget's many functions, but here are a few snapshots from Christmas Day and this evening:

Here's my mother-in-law Janice with a quilt I made for her. She has a collection of family quilts, and mine will represent the fifth generation to contribute to it.

The pets each received a new collar for Christmas. They were plumb tuckered out from all of the holiday excitement.
