Christmas 2007

It was unusual for us to stay at home this year, but it turned out to be quite relaxing and enjoyable. It was the first time I've had Christmas at my own home in more than 10 years and the first time Brian and I have had Christmas since we married six years ago. It was also Liz's first Christmas at home as well. We were fortunate that my mom, dad and brother and sister-in-law came and spend the day with us.
Liz got a number of great gifts, from toy computers to books. But I couldn't resist some shots of "Pretend Dr. Lizzy." If you look at the photos from the bottom you can see how serious she is when she's first meeting with her patient and then she relaxes when she feels the patient is indeed healthy. She's checking out my mom and dad. She's taking blood pressure, checking their heart beat and giving them a full physical.
