family Christmas with the blomgren's

We celebrated Christmas with the Blomgren's this evening. It is so nice to be together with everyone. There is a lovely new snow on the ground and we just finished watching Kyle and Adam perform yoyo tricks. This morning, my friend Brian had his funeral. The class of 1990 went to the Hickory for lunch. Kari is a Mom again which it was great to reconnect with her. Meridee, Charles, Cory, Jeanna, Tami, Matt, Markus, Kari and myself dined together and recounted stories of our friend. Last day of the year and 365 blogposts in 2011. An accomplishment that was joyful. Counting my blessings at the close of the year and anticipating another joyful year.
