100th post!

so, i was looking back at my blog (to clearly revel in my past amazing-ness) & saw that i've had it for about a year & a half. Also, this is my 100th Post! though sadly, this 100th post equals only 1 post every 5 days or so & i thought i was better than that.
anyway, to celebrate, the picture post returns in all it's glory! i know you all have missed it & i've realized that i miss it too. while, obviously, my superior wit & writing prowess is always appreciated, i know that seeing pictures of my super amazing life really pumps up the blogging volume. so enjoy my loyal friends, enjoy::

from that fateful "i-can't-discuss-any-events-in-a-public-forum" night. ty is on his knees
mdt & i before our fancy dinner (note the collared shirt)
insane icicles from the first snow days

this came off of a bicycle seat
our tribute to a forgotten festivus: jell-o towers
our christmas tree, which had an unfortunate amputation during the shortening process. but it's decorated beautifully (all the really neat-o ornaments are michael's, though mine hold their own -- i made the glittery star as a topper, but it was too heavy)
now you can all see why i love skelnik football sundays. the light from the top windows is hurting your eyes, krissy? uncle jim just brings in the porch umbrella
from the cabela's taxidermy forest: i love the squirrel & that badger haunts my nightmares

our xmas pjs: michael's says "slumberjack" which still makes me giggle. of course, tre is in on the action
i cannot explain why this picture won't flip. but here's tre enjoying his stocking toys, he's so happy he's smiling!

zachary beginning his christmas morning scavenger hunt for his gift from michael & i. it was a glorious as i had hoped for. unfortantly, there's no picture of him shaking the box like a monkey looking for the hidden compartment
krissy won the annual "make mom cry at their gift" award
dad ripped the wrapping paper! does anyone have a family member that meticulously slips the paper off with no rips?

michael is sowing some more wild oats on a snowboarding trip (his oats bag is HUGE), so i curled my hair out of boardom, but it turned out pretty
