The above picture was taken yesterday when Isabel and I drove to Toledo to meet Sue and Peg for lunch. We had a great time.... but may I say how odd it was to see Santa and Mrs. Clause in a mexican restaurant. However, we couldn't pass up an opportunity to record the moment. Here's a picture of us with Mrs. Clause included: (I'm not sure why I'm trying to take Santa's arm off.)

Here is a picture of Isabel right before her piano recital:

After her recital was over, we got our Christmas tree:

Here's what it looks like in our living room. It's our favorite Christmas tree yet!

This year Isabel was big enough to join me on my annual "Baking Day" with my girlfriend Nancy and her mom. (By the way Nancy, we really should come up with a better name than "Baking Day"....) Here's a pic or two of that event:



I didn't mean for this post to be so long.... but there is our month so far.
We are leaving for New York on Thursday morning for some "City Holiday Spirit". (Tom has a conference... so Isabel and I get to tag along!) We plan on seeing a couple of plays while we are there.... should be a great trip!
I hope all is well with everyone and that you enjoy a safe and happy holiday!!
