Merry Christmas!

It looks to be a cold and rainy Christmas here in Oakland, definitely a good day to light a fire in the fireplace. Plan is for a mellow Christmas since TK is carrying a giant pumpkin around. My mom and brother are coming by in a few hours for an early xmas dinner, and we'll call the Kellys in VA later.

Hope all of you have a wonderful Christmas and that we get to see you soon. J&T, safe travels tonight - looking forward to having you back home. And I'm excited that we'll get to see Lee tomorrow! George, Cindy, Kate (I think the only other people that look at this blog), wish we could see you this week too.

And here's to an awesome 2009 for everyone...including the arrival of a few more Baumfields and Kellcocks. And hopefully we'll get to see Jacob and meet Lenny in person this year. At the least, we're due for a video hookup.

Love you all,

ps will take a picture tonight but my neighbor across the street (who is from Vermont) put up a n excellent, giant glowing snowman figure on the hill. Getting blown around by the wind and rain now, but he still looks pretty stoked to be a snowman. I'm going to find a giant snowman companion for next year so he has company. Maybe a laaaady snowman...
