What would New Years Eve be at the Dixon home without a puzzle? Claudia started this one about 10pm on New Years Eve. Mark helped to get the border in place before he fell asleep. Eric, Ryan and Holly contributed after they returned from their respective New Years festivities. Claudia and Mark put the final pieces in place after they awoke on New Years Day.
The house has been appropriately "de-Christmased." The corner where the Christmas tree stood is bare ...
... and the decorations are neatly tucked back in the closet. It was quite a puzzle just get them back in place!
So, there you have the sum total of our spectacular photography this week. Things are pretty much getting back to normal after the holidays. Mark, Eric and Ryan are back at work. Holly is back in school and starting some intense practice for the upcoming production of The Music Man at Taylor Junior High. Claudia is immersed in Young Women stuff. Dave and Rachel returned with their kids from their Dalton family excursion to California. Myron and Angie are in withdrawl because their high def TV had to go to the shop for repairs. Amy got back from her visit home during the holidays, but went to San Diego this weekend. Claudia accompanied Dave and Rachel as they sang "Come, thou Fount of Every Blessing" at a stake fireside tonight. Mark heads back on the road tomorrow, just in time to miss three family birthdays. Yep, our "un-eventful life" is pretty much back to normal.
If you haven't checked lately, you can see more family photos (from previous weeks) on
Mark's Flickr page.
Good night, and God bless!
