A Christmas Slideshow for You

December flew by with a trip to Sapphire, NC with our good friends Ben and Crystal, then a visit from the Hogue family and a visit with the Sublette family. It all went way too fast and we had SO MUCH FUN. It has been a little sad now that it is all over, but we are looking forward to coming to Texas sometime in the spring. Here are some pics from the fastest month of 2008.
