And, Last, But Certainly, Not Least...Hoppy Christmas!

Well, here it is...the post for our final Christmas celebration. As you can probably tell, Christmas is clearly not all about a particular day for us - as is likely the case with you, and your family, and nearly every family these days. It's about getting together with your friends and/or loved ones, the people that make your life what it is, and the people that motivate you to get up each morning, draw in that first breath, and provide the literal and figurative motivation you need to walk out the door and face the tidal wave of bullpuckey each of us face in order to chisel out lives for ourselves.

Laura, the boys and I have been so fortunate, and so grateful, to have the people about whom we blog - and whose pictures you see below - to play such major parts in our lives. We couldn't do what we do day in and day out without each one of you contributing to us your wisdom, your heart and your joy.

With that, enjoy these pictures from our gathering with Steve and Tammy - Papaw and Nana Hop.

This present excited all of us, Jack just portrayed that excitement best - even if he did leave Laura hangin' for a sec. It's a year-long membership to the Indianapolis Childrens' Museum!

And, that's it...that's the end of our Christmas and New Year's celebration blogging. Sorry it was super drawn out, and took way longer than it should've. But, once and for all...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Everybody!
