Saint Paul MN - Christmas Day 2014







Long came over early and we got the day started making spring rolls to add to the food for the day.  Anna even got in to the production and got it figured out - hers tasted as good as Long's!
Another good day and we got to see Joe and Dan trying to take over the nap couch before Jimbo had a chance to get there.....

Saint Paul MN - the quiet before the Christmas Day fun begins.......




Stillwater MN - Christmas Eve


















It may be our smallest group but we sure didn't let that stop the fun.
We even had a second group show up later to increase our numbers and add to the fun.
Great night.

Hong Kong to Saint Paul - the send off and the arrival







A great Friday night out with friends before I headed to Minnesota for the holiday.
They were off to the UK for the holiday and poor Byran was fretting the cold - his warm South African blood just wasn't ready.
It was set up to be a great weekend in Hong Kong - sunny and warm.
I arrived in Saint Paul to a snowy/rainy mess.  And it just all turned to rain and therefore not very cold.  But for the continued grey skies it isn't all bad - easy to get around, once the rain stopped the mess went away and you know everyone is going to get here without too much craziness.
Started off my arrival with a Christmas Party in the evening and brunch at the Saint Paul Grill in the morning.
