Merry Christmas!

Greetings to all on Christmas. It's been a wild and crazy few days back here in Minnesota. Friday night we took Kelsey to the Melting Pot to celebrate her 17th birthday...we forgot about the Hollidazzle parade taking place at the same time as our reservations--so traffic was a bit more than we expected. We had a great time and it was fun to have dinner just the four of us.

Saturday and Sunday we did some last minute shopping and started preparing for our Christmas Eve dinner. Our tradition includes ham and homemade scalloped potatoes (which David prepared with spuds grown in our garden this summer!) After Christmas Eve church service we came home to have dinner and open our gifts. Today we celebrated with the Finger Family and more traditions--the family heads to a movie matinee while I come to a quiet house and enjoy some "me time!" Roxy is seeing to it that I don't get much done--she'd rather be out playing in the snow or chasing a tennis ball.

The rest of my time in Minnesota includes visits with my college roommate and her family and Brooke's godparents--both long over-due visits with both families. Always fun to re-connect with friends over the holidays.

Merry Christmas to everyone!
