Texas Christmas

We were a little lazy about the picture taking this year. We promise to be better over the next few days. But here are some of the ones we have. The dogs and cats are featured heavily.

Capers got an elephant hat for Christmas. He tried to run it off but eventually just passed out from exhaustion.

The Denver Christmas was a big success. We all made it from earlier celebrations to Bill and Pat's for a wonderful Christmas Dinner.

We had a snowy Christmas on Wabash St. Here are some pics of Holiday fun, including some pre and post Christmas shots.

I like to shoot b&w videos with my new camera.

Christmas Theme III--Photographers

It was the Christmas of the Digital Elf SD1000, with Calvin, Jody, Frank and Neilson all having new cameras. It was a much photographed events

Christmas Theme II--Funny Hats

It wouldn't be a Culkin Christmas without some funny hats. (This category will be added to soon.)

Christmas Theme I--Successful Gifts

Many gifts were exchanged--all were enjoyed. (P.S.--as another gift, we in Oswego would like to see some pictures of the other Culkin Christmases)

Christmas in Oswego

Calvin, Hosetta and I drove up from New York on the 22nd for Christmas, and were joined by Frank, Neilson and Kate on the 24th. We have all had a wonderful time. Hosetta and Calvin drove back to New York today, and the rest of us went to Geneva to visit the Brennans.

Some pictures (in reverse order- we are all happy but a little tired).
