Well, my family has a tradition of celebrating more than one Christmas for our family members that live out of town, but this year I think we set a record even for us. There were 3, that's right, 3 Hannan Christmas' this year. On top of the 3 Christmas' there were two very cold, polar bear-esque dips in the river. Yes, we have been experiencing a mild winter this year... but trust me, it wasn't that mild. It just happened to snow for the first time while I was home on the day that I was scheduled to take the big plunge. Perfect.
The first dip in the river was to prove everyone wrong that said we wouldn't do it, to show up a few of the cousins that chickened out, and for my cousin MK's boyfriend Robbie to experience a little Hannan family rite of passage. The second dip involved a canoe, a pretty mean trick, and my cousin Maureen literally swimming for her present. Which by the way, ended up being an empty Tiffany's box. Very, very mean. I was not able to witness the canoe act first hand, but am very proud of Maureen just the same. 3 Hannan Christmas' and 7 dips in the river is going to be pretty tough to beat.
And if you are wondering about that first picture, that would be Johnny inside Lexi and Bauer's crate.
