Christmas and New Year

We had a merry Christmas and a happy New Year. I had to spend a lot of the break working on papers and preparing a new class (I'll teach "Religions of the World" for the first time int he Spring) but we did have some time for fun.

 

 Dad showing off some copies of art signed by Jim Shore. He is an artist whose daughter also teaches at Lander. We bought dad those two statues and his daughter got the signed copies fo the art for us.

 David really loves Garfield and drawing comics so we got him a signed Jim Davis animation cell from "Garfield and Friends."

 Garfield's girlfriend is named Arlene so I also got a personalized copy of a Sunday strip starring Garfield and Arlene.

 The boys and I after Chrstmas Mass.
