Christmas Has Come and Gone

Even though it was little over a week ago I feel like Christmas was such a long time ago. What is it about the holidays that have such a whirlwind effect on me? Each year I try to brace myself for the holidays but each year they just whip past me as though they were Willow Smith's hair. The holidays weren't anything out of the ordinary,
there were pups playing with their new toys:

(By the way how creepy is this picture of Frank? I didn't do anything to his eyes in the picture)

There was cheesing it up with the cousins

And of course lots and lots of eating.

And overall merriment all around. So I guess if I have to be in a whirl wind of any kind I suppose one of Christmas cheer and family is the best one to be in.
Somehow I have a feeling that the Christmas whirlwind is nothing compared to the wedding whirlwind awaiting us in the next three months. Here we go!
