December 30th in the frozen (NOT) State of Wisconsin

Here I am enjoying the outdoors on the second last day of 2006.
Pretty nice day! Steaks on the grill this evening!
And Happy New Year to all my friends and family and whoever else may read this blog.

Christmas Day

Christmas day was spent at home, just Chris, Logan and me.
It was a day of peace and rest and a few phone calls.
Mel's gift of cocktail napkins will go well with the portable bar Chris gave me.
There is not room to post everything we received but we wish to thank all of you for your thoughtfulness. Kelly & Matt, Bob and Karen and the Arizona gang - Thank You all!

Christmas Eve

Here are a few shots from Christmas Eve and Day.
Kelly, Karen, Bob and Mike came for dinner and we had a really great time.
Logan too was fully present and also enjoyed the evening.
Oh, and Grumpy Santa spurts out bits of Christmas cheer, sort of (lol).
Merry Christmas to All, and Peace on Earth.

A wintertime view of the rural countryside in Old World Wisconsin

A couple of pictures inside the general store

Chris' Favorite Old World Wisconsin Picture

Chris took this picture of the General Store in Old World Wisconsin. She is very proud of the way it came out and it is very representative of Wisconsin in the winter.

Winter Wonderland (Wonder why anyone likes it)

Okay, so I don't really appreciate Winter Wonderland, but some folks do. Mom & Joyce went to Old World Wisconsin and had a great time. Here are a couple of pictures from their day , even one showing them creating their very own Christmas Crafting Ornament.

Chick-Flick Birthday Party

As those of you who read Matt's blog know, it was Kelly's birthday. That said there had to be a Chick-Flick celebration, and there was. Enjoy a few pictures from the event.

Holdiay Lights

Here a some pictures of Mom as we worked on the holiday lights on the last decent week-end day of the season. We started out with a gnarled mess, then got them sorted, tested and finally plugged in. If it is ever decent I will try to get some night pictures to post.
