Saint Paul MN - Christmas Day 2016









Don't know that it has rained, actually down poured, on Christmas Day in my lifetime.  I can think of warm days but not nasty rainy days.
The guest list lost a few and added a few others before dinner was on the table.
And before the weather switched we ate, had some fun and got people on their way.  Then Kristijan, Dawit and I just quietly sat - and finished the clean up.
A bit of lost and found as well - see anything that is yours or like if no one claims....let me know.

Stillwater MN - Christmas Eve


















Dawit came in and we were ready for Christmas to begin.
Lots of great food, Grandma hats and even new toys for big kids.
And Jimbo trying for a nap on the couch before everything kicks in.....

Minneapolie/Saint Paul MN - Thursday before Christmas...the partying begins




British Ad Movie night at the Walker.  Sandor tradition - I join from time to time when I am around.
Grandma and Kristijan joined the fun as well this year.
A little hopping around and we finally settled in for a nice dinner after the show.

Saint Paul MN - getting ready, snow, cold and lots of activities over the weekend








Getting ready for the Cashman crowd next week.
And then we got a weekend of more snow and the first blast of super cold came in to help disrupt all kinds of travel and activities throughout the weekend.

Austin TX - Quick and crazy trip


























It all started with the temperature in the plane feeling an awful lot like MN all the way down to Texas.  Not sure what was wrong but it was just COLD in the plane.
So glad to get out and also have it be 50 degrees warmer in Austin.
Quick trip in and out.
