Sorry there's so many of them. I didn't feel like taking the time to make this page link to all of them individually.

Shadow and Melissa

My dad holding up a pine branch or something

The sky from where we got our Christmas tree

Melissa playing with Bronte

Sunset from our back deck

More of the sunset

And still more

My sister was sick and sad

And needed to plug up both nostrils, apparently

Lydia, Mike, and Valerie, at Lisa and Curt's for the Hartley Christmas

One of the presents looked cool in the sun.

Very generously, Fountain Club came and sang carols for us. (This was the first Christmas after my mom died, and they wanted to do something nice for us.)
I don't know everyone, but the two girls in front of the fireplace are Therese and Alice, and the guy to the right of them is Ben.
Warren and Mike are in the foreground.

I think my sister fell asleep like this, or she's just tired and still feels crappy.

Our evil Christmas goose

Decorating the Christmas tree

Some of the ornaments closer up

My cousin Ryan demonstrating how he induces sneezes

Mike, showing off his lovely locks

Bronte laying in my dad's lap

Scary eyes

Sunset from the road when we were taking a walk

Sun reflecting off water in a ditch

Roughly the same view with different light settings

A lovely deer carcass near our house

With no eyes

Lily playing the piano. (Two years earlier, she was the one on the right in this picture.)

Lily playing with play-dough
