Mike and Meg are here (Kelly's brother and his wife). We have been having a blast since they got here even though we've barely left the house.

They arrived on the 23rd and Kelly picked them up at LAX where they had to wait another two hours for their luggage. Not too bad of luck considering the situation people flying through Chicago were in that day. Then the drive from LAX to here took 3 hours because of traffic.

Christmas Eve, we had a big breakfast here and hung out by the fire until we had dinner at Scott and Janet's with their family. It was a blast as usual. Kenny (Scott and Janet's son) brought his blow dart gun to show us and I ended up volunteering to let his wife Jackie, a blow dart sniper, to shoot me in the belly in exchange for a lemon cake made just for me (she's an amazing baker). It really hurt but was so worth it. This I agreed to even on the night that I was the DD for us all; Jackie's lemon cake is THAT GOOD.

Then we hosted Scott and Janet at our place Christmas Day and I made a couple of chickens. Everyone tells me they turned out okay, but if Janet had served me crap like that, I'd still be talking about her today. Then Scott and Janet had another engagement and Mike and I proceeded to drown ourselves in holiday cheer. The girls helped too, as you can tell by the mouth on Megan in the last second of this completely innocent attempt to send an e-holiday message to friends and family via Traincam.



I think that was the f-bomb!

We took five takes of this and this is the closest to being family-friendly.

However, Christmas day was not all sin and debauchery, there was also a promise from god with a Christmas rainbow at about 1:00PM



Then today we drove a bit locally and tried to soak in the way the San Gabrels look with the snow and the clouds.





Then we watched the sunset from Creepy Abandoned Place In the Middle of the Desert.
