NO,  I am not copying JenIg.  as a matter of fact, I believe I had this already planned out on Sunday; that I would post this family picture today, Wednesday.  She must have sensed I was going to do it and wanted to beat me to the punch.  Here it is.  Not the greatest, but the batteries (both of them) stopped working right after we took only two shots.  I had forgotten to wear any makeup and Jonam is laughing hysterically because the timing light on the camera was keeping the beat with the background music we had on.  I insisted on using this particular photo because Jonam usually looks like he would rather be adopted out to any other family than the one he has been forced to pose for a picture with.  Oh the joys of Holiday picture taking.

See how well you can gaze at the tree in all it's glory?  Poor, poor JenIg.  And Neal is sporting his "bobby just got shorn" hairdo because the night previous had a wee little girl calling him a "very bad man".  I guess he could look pretty menacing with his mass of dark curls, like Bob Ross ...

Here Jonam is standing behind me saying "awwh ... you chose the bad one!"  I personally love this one.

My daughter is standing over my shoulder too and says you have a pretty christmas tree. Now she is asking me what I'm typing and is singing "I can't reeead big words..." Oh, how she would love to know!
Great picture.

I just spent way too long studying your tree to find our matching 3 starred ornament. Sigh. There it was at the top of the tree. You do love me. I'll display mine too (if we ever get off our duffs to go get a tree). And tell Jonam that I appreciated his hiding his feet, just incase his shoes didn't match again....I do love those boys!

I know I was always terrified of Bob Ross

It will always be better to be compared to a recent shearing than to be compared to any of the following:
Rod Stewart, Alice Cooper, the guy from The Cars.
