Katelyn and I spent Christmas morning hiking at a spot called Angel's Rest. Much of the time, we were wondering about what in the world we were doing outside, in the rain on Christmas day.Some of the photos may reflect that.
Katelyn, unsure about the babbling brook.
Me "why are we doing this"

A little gnomey doll we found on a tree.

There was a lot of fog but we know the view would have been spectacular
Bracing against the cold under this tree.
Frowning at the cold, in front of the void.
A window into the void through these rocks
pictures really can't do it justice
We spent the rest of our day baking labor intensive cookies, making (and eating) curry and coconut rice and watching Christopher Nolan movies with my friend Jon. Making cookies, eating curry and watching movies is my and Jon's new Christmas tradition. We did it last year and hopefully we'll do it in years to come. After Jon left Katelyn gave me some delicious looking canned foods to eat. We got into one of them this morning.
Canned goodies
To continue our Christmas festivities we will be opening a package we received in the mail today from home.
Hopefully you all are having safe travels and fun times out there over this holiday season.
That is a very dramatic pose and stare you have going on in the third to last one. I realy need to go hiking now!
