Christmas Eve

Hello all. We dodged a weather bullet last night when the temps stayed high enough to keep the precipitation to rain. It's still raining and a real mess outside but it beats the ice we could have gotten. Our neighborhood is still a real mess with downed tree limbs. Saw in the paper this morning that Fort Wayne will be helping to pick up the branches. Nice to see they figured out the right thing to do. Lucky for me, mine are already right by the street!

Rowan's heading into her first Christmas! Of course she thinks it's just another day and I've had friends tell me this is the last Christmas where she won't be bouncing off the walls. Regardless, Brooke and I are quite excited. Sheridan family on Christmas day and Taylor family on Friday. Good times to be had by all!

 

Some Christmas related links included on this post. If anyone missed the video of Rowan eating, videos do not make the email subscriptions. Simply click the title of the blog post at the top of the email (Christmas Eve for today) and it will take you to the blog to view the video. It's a good one.
