Well, we're back, and after 11 days of leave, 1000 miles driving, and car packed full of presents (not to mention a
KU Orange Bowl Victory) I have finally updated the blog.

Kelly Keel had snapped nearly 800 pictures by the time I got my hands on them, and I am very grateful for her very nice digital camera and her keen eye for a good shot. Most of our Christmas memories from this year will be around courtesy of her. Thanks Kelly!

A shout-out to all our readers, especially those who read but have never left comments (Eve). We didn't see
everyone we knew, but to our friends we did spend time with - it was great to see you.
VIDEOS: Ok, I'm going to try something new. If you click
HERE, you will go to my YouTube channel, where I've uploaded all the videos I took, this trip and previous ones. Just bookmark the site (or look over to the right, under the links) and you can come back anytime to check for videos.
Hope everybody enjoys the albums. I've tried to put in witty comments, but as everyone knows - Liesel is wittier than I. There are about 5 albums from this trip, so have fun browsing. The sledding album is the longest by far, but Kelly did such a good job taking pictures, I had to include all of them.
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Felice anno nuovo!
