The fireplace is going, there is a plate of Christmas cookies sitting next to me, Tim Allen is practicing his "ho-ho-ho" as he is becoming Santa Claus in a TV rendition of The Santa Clause 2, and the snow is gently drifting down past the wind.....oh wait! Yeah the snow part is missing--I think this might be Minnesota's first Christmas ever without snow. We're all just a little bitter. My grandparents in Colorado have graciously offered to ship us some of their 5 feet that is burrying their yard, and if we could figure out just how to do that, we may take them up on that. Nothing very exciting is going on here around the Hanson household, I just thought I'd say Merry Christmas and post a couple pictures from the day. I got a digital camera from Santa today (which is never something I thought I would convert to, I am still quite in love with my nice SLR that uses good old fashioned film, but I thought it might be fun to have a camera I can easily stick in my pocket or purse.) Because nothing unbelievably thrilling has happened today, I don't have that many photos, but there are a few from a walk we took around Starring Lake this afternoon--we almost froze but we survived. So enjoy the first attempts with the new camera, and have a wonderful rest of the holiday season!
My favorite photo of the day--someone had lost a glove and it somehow ended up on the branch of a bush. 
Dad decided to demonstrate to me the various features of my camera while I was attempting to finish my book this afternoon. 
yay for a digital camera--i got a new one as well for christmas. we're going to be picture crazy with so many cameras!
