Christmas day photos

Not much to write here but some photos instead. Here's a funny thing: it's 1:00 in the afternoon on Boxing Day. Conrad and Heidi have left on their return to Michigan. I've done the silverware and crystal. My Conrad is not yet home from his short day at the office. And you know what? We still have to open our presents. Busy day yesterday in other words.

And a long one. The first shots are of the view out the spare room window at around 6:30 in the morning yesterday. I was up at 5:50 and to bed last night sometime around 12:30. No nap and barely a break in their. It's worth it.

Other photos show the tree, the results of opening our stockings and gifts to each other (the only things we have opened thus far), and the table that Conrad took before the carnage of dinner time. The centerpiece bouquet from Chicago Plant and Flower was beautifully done, I think.
