Home for the Holidaze

So I've been home for a few weeks now and I'm well past that "honeymoon phase". Meaning, my family is now requiring me to do chores and contribute to family life once, I'm no longer the long lost child, returned and cherished and babied. Darn. It had to happen at some point though.  Despite this, coming home has been such a blessing; one of the greatest feelings, to get back and immediately fall right into the clockwork that is your family life. Reminds you that no matter how long you are gone or how far you go, you are part of a family and they will always know you better than anyone else. Cliche and said too often, I know, but what the heck it's the darn truth!

Anyways, some fun shots from Christmas with my own family
