We kicked off our Christmas vacation by building gingerbread houses with our friends the Seegmillers. Cristy's was the bus, Neal built the tower, Andy built the two-story cottage, and I built the "Merry X-mas" house. Good times!
 We went to Texas, and visited our favorite park for some high-adventure box sledding.
 Andy's turn. This is probably one of the steepest inclines in my hometown, and box sledding is a time-honored tradition.
 Linda (sister-in-law) takes her turn.  Looks like she lost the box!
Andy and I walked at this park a lot when we were dating. 
 My brother (Jonathan) and his wife (Linda).
 Just look at that face! Sweet old beagle, Zoe.
 "Hi, my name is Rachel, and I am a Mormon."
 Beth Marie's.  If you know, you know.
 Rocky, the pug.
Andy's (maternal) grandparents. MoMo seems to be disapproving of something that PoPo finds very funny. 
It was a great trip--but altogether WAY too short.
Hope your Christmas was great, too.  And Happy New Year!  Any good resolutions this year?
