Wish your Dad a speedy recovery.
I can't imagine how travel-weary you probably feel. Hope you get a few weeks to rest up yourself now.
Michael sure knows how to have a tree decorating party, doesn't he? I can't imagine having that many people in one house let alone trying to decorate a tree with that many. lol I bet it's a ton of fun though. :D
Wish your Dad a speedy recovery. Thank you! You're an experienced care-giver - you know all the challenges & frustrations...
I can't imagine how travel-weary you probably feel. Hope you get a few weeks to rest up yourself now. Thank you. No more planes for a while but a fair bit of coming & going by train.

I'm sorry your dad had to go through all that. I hope there will be no further complications, and that his recovery will go as quickly and smoothly as possible now. I took care of my grandmother after her hip replacement, and know the challenges involved in getting back to full mobility, but the surgery really is a life-changer. Once you heal, no more pain, and that is a benefit beyond measure.
You politely put up with more than your fair share of annoyances in life, in my opinion, because you are an exceptionally kind and compassionate person. I'm glad that this time you put yourself first, especially after all you've been through recently!
It makes me so happy to know that Tom not only continues to be friends with Michael after Smallville, but has also been welcomed into his wonderful created family of close friends. Tom does indeed look more relaxed in this year's pic. I hope this becomes an annual tradition for them both!

And hopefully we get lots of Tom appearances & interviews as he promotes "The Choice" - he's been quiet for a while, have missed him!
Michael's tree-decorating parties are becoming more epic by the year! Lovely to see Tom there again.
You're definitely entitled to a peaceful, hassle-free journey after all that travel! Hope your dad's recovery goes smoothly.
Michael's tree-decorating parties are becoming more epic by the year! Lovely to see Tom there again. On facebook he was asked "did you photoshop some of the people in?" And yes, he admitted Harland & Isaiah were added later! I wish one of the guests would be bold & snap a picture of Michael & Tom...fingers crossed one emerges.
You're definitely entitled to a peaceful, hassle-free journey after all that travel! More train travel next week but I'm ready for a break from airplanes for a while - too much turbulence coming home yesterday!
Hope your dad's recovery goes smoothly. Thank you - it's frustrating to be back at square one, but what can you do? Just hope this time we see it through to a happy ending.
That's so rough about your father's hip surgery. You must be absolutely exhausted from the travel and worry. I know it's difficult, but try to take care of yourself, too.
Thank you so much <3
It's tough living five hours away from my parents - always feel a bit guilty for leaving them & coming back to work and then feel guilty missing work to go there.
I can't imagine how the people who have to look after kids and aging parents simultaneously manage it...my lot is much easier by comparison!
I'm all travelled out for the year too, though yours was a lot more compressed! The AU trip alone is quite the jaunt.
Sorry about your dad's hip! That sucks. -_- At least they're able to fix it and get it going again, and it's great that you can go over and visit them. Hope it all works out for him and he recovers well and quickly!
That is a seriously epic tree decorating party. o.o
You went to the UK & Germany, yes? Were there more trips after that? Any travel on deck for 2016?

That is a seriously epic tree decorating party. Tom would be handy for placing the high ornaments!

Sorry to hear about your Dad's needing a total hip replacement, but glad it is done now and can start on the road to recovery.
So glad you got to go to Australia!
Great pic, thanks for posting...but can't tell who is Tom, which one is he?
So neat that he and Kristen still stay in touch with Michael!
Tom is at the far right in the ball cap, by the Christmas tree.
Sorry to hear about your Dad's needing a total hip replacement, but glad it is done now and can start on the road to recovery. Thank you - he is re-starting with physio tomorrow so that is encouraging.
