Christmas Vacation 2012

Merry Christmas!  We spent our holiday vacation with my family in North Carolina.  It was a quick trip for Alex with only four days off from work, but it was nice to be together with family we haven't seen in a while.  The Scheers celebrated Christmas in Oregon and the Schneiders in Pennsylvania this year.  We missed not getting to see them at all over the holiday, but hopefully we can get together soon.  Thanks to all of our friends who came out to see us!  From late night NORAD calls to track Santa to Dynamite Sushi Rolls at an old favorite, it was great to see you all.  I wish Christmas could last just a little bit longer!

Tessa and Lily!  Alex and I had not seen Lily since Christmas 2010.  She has gotten so big!!
  
Moo had a hard time dealing with another kitty in the house.  She spent Christmas Eve hiding on top of the cabinets and under my bed.  When she wasn't hiding, she was hissing her disapproval of little Tullie.  Christmas Day was spent rotating the cats from bedroom to downstairs then back to bedroom so they would not cross paths.
