Christmas has come and gone. I had a great day - presents with my parents, dinner with my aunts and extended family (my first step-cousin once removed was having tons of fun playing with the trains), tasting a few tasty potent potables with my aunt, dinner with my parents, and a movie with some friends.

It was great having my sister around. We drove around to a lot of places with our dad -- El Monte valley, Julian, Laguna Mountains, and the coast all the way from the Oceanside Pier to Cabrillo Monument.

I got a ton of pictures posted:

• The afore-linked pictures of christmas at Marcia's
• The also afore-linked pictures of travels with Lorie
• Aunt Paulette's kids decorating grandma's christmas tree
• My christmas lights
• Tidal Flooding in National City
• Hoover Dam, and a few pics from a buffet in Las Vegas
