Hoping you all have a merry Christmas, from the Hancock Barnharts!
The kids would like to share a krumkake with you. And here are some winter photos for those who find themselves snow-challenged today.

Christmas, errr, Easter Cactus
This last Christmas, David, Daniel, and I found a sale on Christmas cactuses at Lowe's. I think they were a dollar each, and we picked up a few. I've been giving my cactus a little water and plenty of sunlight and wondering if it would ever blossom (as they're rumored to do). It had been pretty quiet over most of the winter, but then this afternoon I noticed a huge blossom off the end of one arm.
I think it's kind of impressive that a cactus meant to mark the occasion of Jesus' birth is now marking the event of his resurrection. Happy Easter, everyone!

A Barnhart Christmas
Top Ten Barnhart Christmas Traditions:
10. Saying "Do you wanna do chores....eat breakfast....or open presents? PRESENTS!!!!!" (this actually starts about 1 week prior to Christmas, and all accompanying faces must be made)
9. Develop and hone our vulture-like eating habits
8. Lots of computers (and by lots I mean more computers than people)
7. Everyone making complete fools of themselves for the two smallest members of the family
6. Taking pictures...of people taking pictures...of other people taking pictures
5. Sneaking your Christmas presents under the tree as if they weren't wrapped hastily only seconds ago in the other room.
4. Opening gifts about 4 hours after scheduled to begin (because we just finished wrapping them)
3. 14 trips to Meijer
2. Ben's world-renowned pineapple upside-down cake
1. The 7 hour gift-opening marathon, including commentary and frequent, unexplained breaks
If these are the things that have made up your Christmas day, you may as well admit that you are most definitely a Barnhart. Don't try to fight it; its much easier if you just give in.
Merry Christmas!
And because this is what we all get excited about, here are a few pictures of the two sweetest girls around.
