Even though it's a brown Christmas...

Yes, sadly Northfield and most of Minnesota is without snow. This will be my first brown Christmas, and am quite disappointed, but somewhat relieved... Travels are much easier without the powder that makes us all groan when we are forced to drive 30 mph on the freeway. But hey, as long as the sun is shinning, I am utterly content. The earth seems somewhat cold enough to keep the skating rinks frozen, which excites me. Although I am not the best skater, it is still something to do around here, small town Northfield. Today, my friends and I went ice skating. It was terrific! (some photos to document the fun.. :))





we've become professionals...











Gosh she is beautiful.
