Holley-day Pictures

We first enjoyed our own family Christmas in Pflugerville.
The boys and Cookie always pose in front of the tree before gifts are opened—
a picture that we take every year!
Karla gets very excited and makes it a lot of fun.
I don't get real excited and have been accused of being boring.

Then, we headed to Wichita Falls to have Christmas with our family there.
We were blessed to receive a MacBook laptop to help in our church and personally.
I put on my best smile - and it was real (if you are wondering)!

Chad enjoyed getting to see his old friends and playing basketball with them.

Cameron enjoyed the new XBox 360 that they received from Mom and Dad.
They were very excited, especially since all they really got from us was clothes!

I caught a picture of Mom and of Dad in there relaxing activities!

We had a great time and didn't even get a picture from Christmas dinner at the Elms'.
I think we were so excited about eating and visiting, that it didn't enter our mind!
..............ON TO THE NEW YEAR!

I am so jealous about the Mac Book. My Dell seems very unimpressive now. I'll let Mark Johnson know you are an Apple convert now. Also liked your dad's iMac. Glad you had a great Christmas.

I love the picture of Sis Holley, that looks so cool! Who took that and how did they get the aperture to change?

Don, I AM an Apple person and have been since the Apple II days! My dad owned a computer store from the time I was a teenager. It gets in your blood! I now live in Dell territory! They have buildings everywhere around my house.

Jason, I took the picture and then did a Gaussian blur to the background in Photoshop. Thanks for the compliment!

I love the pictures of the family! I cannot believe none of us thought of a picture at the Christmas Dinner! That is so strange for no one to think of it! I still cannot believe it. It was great having you all here at home.

By the way, you are FAR from "boring!!!!"

Love y'all

What? A missed picture opportunity from the Elms/Holley family? I don't believe it... more than anything I can't believe you were at Sis. Elms's house and she didn't shoot at least one pic. lol
