Christmas 2008

This year we did something unheard of...the Skinner Family stayed home for Christmas! What a treat to have my parents and youngest brother, Mike, come celebrate with us! We certainly wished my other brother, Stephen, and his family could have joined us, however they were prepping for the arrival of my newest nephew, Graham, who arrived on New Year's Eve!

Uncle Mike showing Brett how it's done
Eric working on his latest "Guitar Hero" song
The boys and Papa Arnold singing their favorite song...
Willie Nelson's "On the Road Again."
Our annual tradition - Baby Jesus' birthday cake -
helping us remember the reason for the season
Beautiful cake made by our good friend and neighbor, Tricia. Yummmmm
Eric showing off his new USC calendar that plays the fight song...thanks Rob and Susan! ;) Maybe next year you could find one for the UT Longhorns...PLEASEEEEEEEEE
Speak no evil, hear no evil, see no evil (aka my mom, brother and dad). They really should take their show on the road don't you think. :)
No, really guys...we're fine and certainly don't need any help in the kitchen.
Just keep drinking your wine and relaxing....
