Merry Christmas! We had a good snowstorm last night so we have all fresh new snow for Christmas. Zander and Zoe played outside and brought a bunch of it in with them. Vienna has a runny nose so she had to stay in. She has a hard time breathing in cold air anyway.

John had to work today but we're hoping he gets home in time to go to church tonight. Someone is making incredible soups including oyster stew. Oyster stew is a once a year kind of thing but it's so tasty.

Tomorrow, we're having the big family Christmas. My parents are coming down, my sister's family is coming over. We're having sloppy joes for lunch and Chinese takeout for dinner. And we're making crab rangoons. Oh, it'll be a good eating day. I made some of those tasty peanut butter with hershey kiss cookies the other day. I'm amazed there are any left. I'm thinking about making more chocolate dipped ritz crackers with peanut butter. Those are my favorite!
