Holiday Pics

I got on the blog tonight to share some of our holiday-time photos but realized that most of the pics that I wanted to share are on Erin's camera. Unfortunately she is in New York visiting her family and I'm pretty sure she has her camera with her. I found some other pictures that are worth sharing though. You'll just have to deal with the fact that they are a little bit random.



This is from Bozeman's Christmas Stroll; it's a big deal around here and I wanted to go to it more to see the spectacle than to really participate much. Main Street is closed down and insanity rules for a few hours. One of the jewelry stores downtown had college-aged girls dressed as Elves (or something) dancing and posing in the front display window. Kind of reminded me of the Calvin Kline weird dancing billboard deal in Time's Square.



Erin hard at work for school. She didn't know I was taking this but I love the way the picture turned out. I can't wait until she's done with school; though she'll probably just find something else to keep her busy whe we get to that point.

This last one I took at the top of the hill next to our house where I walk Kaya every morning. I typically walk her between 5:45 and 6:30 and it's completely dark, but this is on a Saturday not long after snow.



I can't wait to get Erin's camera. I'll give you a little teaser for photos to come: Christmas Turtlenecks.

That's a wonderful photo of Erin, Joel - - - and I can't wait to see the turtlenecks, after your description. Sounds like you had a nice Christmas, even though Erin had to leave so quickly afterward. Miss you and love you.

Does Erin have on a fanny pack?

I also can't wait to see more pictures.
I like to see when you have new posts.

Joel said...

Glen, you are going to be more worried when you actually see the turlenecks. Melecia, I'm glad that those videos are popular. They are sad but education is half the battle. Kendi, fanny pack? Is that a weight joke? She's not going to be happy about that one. JK

Joel said...

By the way, Kendi, it's her sports-techy purse. If I wore a purse it would be like that one (I kind of wish that I could get away with it, sometimes).

Those are very nice pictures of Erin studying intently and of the beautiful winter scene in Bozeman. You both look very happy together. I missed being with you this Christmas. Love, Dad

Crap, leave it to me to be the first to offend someone that's not even in the family yet!

Joel said...

I'm kind of surprised that no brothers jumped on the purse comment. Either you guys are slipping or it was just too easy.

We brothers have been jumping on new teasing material for years. Unfortunately....since you have been carrying around a purse practically since birth, the joke is not nearly so funny as it used to be so not really necessarily to tease about.

Paul and Joni said...

I thought it was a camera or something...haha, sports purse? Good one, thats like people who say I'm not fat, I'm just big boned. Hulk Hogan still wears a fanny pack, but he also wears hammer pants and bandanas. Let me know when wearing penny loafers without socks comes back into style.

Joel said...

They're back in style now, Paul. Go for it!

Steve, I would prefer if you called it a murse or a mand bag.

Whatever floats your boat man. Enjoy wearing it as an accessory to your bro or manzier or whatever you want to call it.

Maude said...

Would you three/four stop bantering so Joel can post his wonderful photos of his Christmas meeshirt, or mirt, or whatever he calls it! We've been WAITING!!!!!

Love you!
Mom

Maude said...

I know! - - It's your murse and murtlenect combo - - the latest Bozeman fashion statement! :)

Maude said...

Hey, Joel - - -your blog is beginning to grow mold! Come on - - you can do it - - just snap a picture of the dog or something and say "Hi." :)

Love you,
Mom
