Almost Christmas

Ok, I can't resist. I just have to keep posting pictures of the absolutely adorable little Bellamonster. This little one is so damn cute!
Katherine and John took the little one off to his family's christmas party on the beach. And off I went to my own family.

Last night I went to a party with some of my old high school friends. Some of these people I haven't seen in 7 or 8 years. It was a ton of fun! I only just reconnected with this crowd last year. It is fun to see how much they have changed.

This is Paul. He's now a musician/composer with a kick ass apartment. Like all of us, he was a bit of a geek in high school, but now he is pretty darn cool.
This is Brady. I adore Brady! He's a big teddy bear. Funny. Sweet. Adorable.

This is Brady kicking a little ass.This is the other Paul. Seeing him was a bit of a shock. I haven't seen him since sophomore year in college. I think he was the most dramatic change. Living in New York has put quite a gloss on the boy, and the brilliant, shy boy I knew has become a pretty smooth character. Makes funny faces when the camera comes his direction. I admit to playing with that a little, not even taking pictures, just pointing. amazing what can be funny when you are drunk.
This is Anna. Conversation with Anna was interesting. It centered for a while around Japanese tentacle porn. Paul even supplied pictures. Definitely not boring.
Here, everyone is watching a certain scene from Borat. oh boy.
It was a fun night. I can't wait to move back to Portland so I can hang out with these guys more. Might be a while though.

Oh, and yeah. We are definitely on the west coast. Here are the local sheriffs patrolling the mall. They look so wild west, don't they?
And this morning I picked up my brother and we headed out to Estacada for Christmas with Dad. The tree is pretty small this year, but exceptionally... wet. It is a tradition in our family to have a giant tree. I am actually enjoying not having to have to work on a shaky board balanced on minuscule ledges of the logs. Ever since I've gotten big enough, Dad gave to job of decorating to me. Don't know why a board 10 feet above the ground should be so terrifying, but it is! So the tree this year is tame, requiring only a ladder, yippie! Dad is putting on the lights as I write this, but soon I must decorate. Exciting stuff!
