Seeing Red

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care... see them in the background?

We had a diversified weekend.  Friday night the hubster got home from work and we turned right around and went back the same direction to the Sears Center to watch the Chicago Express minor hockey league play. (FREE tickets) I had never heard of them before. They aren't even the minor league for the Blackhawks... minor league for some Ohio team... dollar hot dogs and beer night.  Lots of families and young kid hockey teams in groups, loud music and lots of give-a-ways.

We woke to about an inch of wet snow on the ground, easy to shovel and easy to melt. Saturday night we went to a neighbors Christmas party.  Their house is decorated beautifully.  I'm just amazed.  It makes me want to do more around my own house, but then I think... happily that I have less to take down and pack away.

Sunday the Packers weren't being shown locally, we had to listen to them lose on the radio... boo.  But we went out to celebrate dear hubby, dear daddy's birthday... a day early!

I've heard people complain that it doesn't seem like Christmas because we don't have any snow.  It was wonderful being able to run all the errands and not have to worry about other crazy drivers in the snow!
Beautiful day on Jeff's birthday... sunny and 42 degrees.. wishing him a great day!
