Merry Christmas and all that humbug. I, for one, am glad it's over. Well... yeah, a white Christmas sure is pretty, but I think nine inches of snow was overdoing it.

I picked up Mom and we went from there to my brother's house. Not a long drive, but up and down lots of hills on winding roads.

My brother Mark's whole gang was there: his kids, Ashley & and Andy; and his wife Lorrie's kids, Lindsay, Ryan, & Kyle. Also on hand was Ashley boyfriend, Scott.
