Merry Christmas!

its only 8AM here, the kids are still all sleeping, as is Richard, so I'm sipping my coffee in a darkend living room with all the Christmas lights on. I actually expected at least Cassidy to be up already. Perhaps I've been blessed with children that sleep in on Christmas morning? Its a foreign concept to me, since me and my siblings were ready to get up and open gifts by 3AM when we were growing up!

We had a nice visit at Erin's yesterday, to celebrate James' 6th birthday and do our family gift exchange. The kids had a blast! AND the Packers won...so all is well in the world

Talk about c o l d weather! It was a mere 3 degrees when we left Madison yesterday morning. By the time we got to Neenah it was -3. And Richard's dad let us know the actual temp, not wind chill factor, in Shawano as they left the reservation to get to Erin's was get this....-18! At least its warming up today. The high here is 19. AND its snowing Can you say white Christmas?

I'll update later with traditional kiddo christmas morning pictures! Until everyone wakes up, I'm going to go sit in my rocker and knit. I'm currently working on Aibhlinn from the winter issue of Knitty
