All is cool in the midwestern front as the wind chill is still above freezing. Actually the weather is pretty nice just not nice enough to attempt making any snow creatures. That is to say I am glad I am not traveling through Colorado right about now. But here it is just cold enough to be winter outside without all the snow and rain.

We are at that weekend finally where pretty much everything happens all in the same time frame. First of course is Holl's birthday which comes two days before Christmas. We awoke to some pancakes in bed and continued on with the gifts for my love. She got a nice purple suitcase and Avery got her a framed picture that looks to adorable for words. Now we are off to do some more Christmas shopping and get things ready including wrapping the rest of our gifts. Tonight a big family dinner to celebrate her birthday.

Tommrow wil be Christmas eve and the next day Christmas so there will be much family, food, and fun gifts to hand around to all. I will let you know how all that turns out when it comes of course. I have had some computer issues but hopefully that wont stop us from getting updates. Perhaps what i really need is to invest in some web space. We shall see.

Have a Merry Christmas my friend.
