Forbes Family Christmas

So, I didn't do as much as I thought I might while I was home for Christmas, and then there was the New Year and last week I thought it'd be a good idea to rear end someone so the insurance company could total my car and I could go through the exhilarating experience of buying a new car as quickly as I'm able (which ends up not being very quick. It turns out I don't have much of an opinion on cars. I just want something that goes when I want it to and won't cost me too much money). Thus, rather belatedly, here a few of my better photos from Christmas.

This is my cousin Amy with my new darling niece Lainie:
Here's another cousin of mine, Brian, and his daughter, Nicole. Nicole is one of the eldest of her generation of the family and I am the youngest of mine. Now that she is in high school I have to resist the urge to say things such as "Golly, you've grown up! I remember when you were this big..." and I begin to feel the first twinges of fright at the passage of time.



Here is Joelle and Lainie again looking drowsy in her candy PJs: And the matriarch of the family, my Grandmother Pauline Forbes. Doesn't she look lovely? I still don't have a car, but I have a long weekend, so I hope to have some other pics to post soon. I plan on an entry full of Zoe pictures because she and the camera are good friends.


Just for fun, here is a picture of my car:

I like that pink stripped jumper. That kid rocks. That pic of you car though? Doesn't rock. My car misses your car, and now they are both junk, and I cry.

I'm like a freaking poet after midnight.

I like to think of my car as an organ donor, living on, giving new life to other cars across the country and even the world. It's really the only thing that gets me past the tears.

That kid does rock, btw. She's effing adorable.
