This year, thankfully, has not been such a roller coaster as some recent years past. I worked at Roundarch all year, we settled into the condo we bought last year. Nothing too crazy. The biggest excitement of the year was when we got engaged last month. We are very happy and excited to be engaged, but aside from some very preliminary wedding planning, nothing drastic has resulted from it. I suspect next year will be different!
This is the 10th year in a row that I’ve taken this santa hat photo. Maybe 9th. I don’t know what happened to 2001. I don’t even remember Christmas that year, and I have no record of it on this site. Maybe Christmas didn’t happen in 2001! Anyway, that was the year I moved to New York City, just weeks after the 9/11 attacks, so maybe I should be forgiven for that slip up!

YIPEE! I think this is the best shot yet. You look really beautiful.
FYI … I started reading your blog in 2003 shortly before you posted your annual hat pic (and the funny i’m allergic to my sweater post.) I don’t know how I found it (your blog) but yours was the very first blog I started reading.
Thanks for sharing.
Have a great holiday season.
I concur with Ginger…this is probably the cutest in the set. If you pumped up the contrast just a teeny bit and did a soft vignette….no, really, this is a lovely picture, Rachelle. Happy Christmas!
Nice photo ! Merry Christmas to you and Dallas !
love the photo this year! you look great! (as always!)
