Repeat! Christmas at the O'Leary's. Only THIS time ... EVERYBODY GETS SICK!!!

As you may all by now, Malaren and I returned to Sleepy Hollow for Christmas to see
Mom, Dad, Hugo, and Annie. Annie didn't make it --- she'd already gotten sick --- and then
just as soon as we'd all said "aw, poor Annie" we got sick, one by one, ending up with me
with a Homeric bout with strep throat that I flew with back home. Ugh.

But the pics are great!

This is how Malaren spent most of her time. Oh, and Hugo has a new nick-name: Porca. (like a porky orca, get it, get it!?!)

Mal and mom had artistic different opinions on how the tree would be decorated. (love it!)

Mal got some some fancy jewlery from Annie.

And Hugo helped unwrap presents.

Post Christmas ahhhs...

And here we have the two Extreme O'Learys (extreme in age, oldest/youngest) barbequing the New Year's Eve feast together.
They traded fishing techniques, as you can see.
