Christmas Photos

Mel and I are at the family farm in Maine for Christmas, where it's warm and sunny. Here are some photos from the past couple days.

Bessie the Christmas pirate

Elizabeth Rose puts on a fine sneer to match her new hat and temporary tatoo.

Melanie, pretty in paisley

Melanie models her snazzy new paisley apron from Phoosh. (The Phoosh made me a matching snazzy blue paisley apron.)

Obligatory goat picture

What is a trip to Maine without a picture of the goats?

Buddy and Emma play fetch on the green lawn

This photo illustrates just how not-white this Christmas was. I'm not complaining — it was a beautiful day!

Bessie and her fort

After a morning of sitting around opening presents and eating bonbons, we all took a much-needed walk outside. I finally got to see Bessie's fort, of which I have heard many stories.

Bessie's fort, up close

This fort has two entrances; the front porch entrance via this tree, or the back door via a ladder.

Inside Bessie's fort

Back when I was a kid, my fort didn't have a vice *or* a kitchen sink, let alone a complete set of dishes and silverware. Not that I'm jealous. This fort is just awesome.
