Christmas 2010: Maine
Happy New Years! Our Christmas Maine gathering was actually on New Years Day of 2011. Luckily, most of us went to bed in plenty of time to get enough sleep. Matt & Ann had a very nice tree set up. And I got to pet the pets some (I didn't quite get Barley in focus).



We were able to relax a bit before the big dinner. Jimmy played some guitar for us. Notice the wonderful acoustic guitar he is using. 30 year old cheap guitar, but hey - it works. Grandmaman certainly found it relaxing. I think I still have 'Carol of the Bells' in my head. (Actually, it's one of my favorites.)

I think Nicki was contemplating all the packages under the tree.

We did the stocking stuffers and gifts after the meal. I don't have too many pictures, but a few to share.




Paul and Jeremy sampled Matt's favorite beer, Allagash Curieux. It got two thumbs up.

And finally, the group shot:
