For those of you envying our view, after waiting
7 hours in the cold and snow, most of the time, this is the *best* we
could see--between trucks and with a huge telephoto lens! |

The group early in the afternoon,
before we lost our under-awning spot to the press |

Later in the day, much colder and snowier |

Elijah acknowledges our cheers |

Much later, we managed to sneak across the street
for just a few minutes. Here's Billy posing as seen through the plastic
walls of the arrival canopy |

Little did Sandy realize, when she took this photo of her
daughter Tori and Elijah, that I would be using it to prove I was actually
there.... |

Liv gets a little good-looking assistance out to her car
after the party |
