Continuing the Christmas Chaos

So, here are a few more pictures from Christmas vacation. The first few pictures are from Brad's dad's place one of the nights we were over there this year. Their home is like a big fun-house...people everywhere, wine and beer flowing like water, pool battles, karaoke by Brad's dad, a dance floor, dress-up costumes for the kids, a full downstairs bar...everything a person needs for a wild n' crazy night! Of course, my idea of wild n' crazy is 2 glasses of wine...
The first 3 pictures are from this year. The next picture is from Christmas 2001. The one following that is of my brothers at my old family house in Michigan during Christmas 2002. The last 2 are from Christmas 2003 - Brad at his dad's house during a pool game and me in the Boston Commons during a wicked snow storm.
It is interesting to look through some of these holiday pictures over the years. When I look back at the past few years, so much has changed in my life in almost every respect; however, when I look back over the past few Christmases, I can almost substitute one Christmas for another. It is almost like time stands still for those short few days each year and we all just celebrate being together.
