Happy Christmas!

We had a lovely Christmas!  On Christmas Eve Day, we arrived down in Mankato at about 1:00pm and had a relaxed afternoon hanging out, chatting, snacking, and playing a little Trivial Pursuit (Team Treetie-Meredith won both games!).  People did an excellent job with gift-giving and we both go very nice gifts.  Ian, was perhaps, most happy with his gifts.

Yes...yes...it's more little metal men.  Ken and Mary Jo gave Ian a collection of beautiful Revolutionary War pieces and as soon as we got home, Ian immediately set them up.  Of course, things didn't stop there. Next we set about setting up the diarama of the battle of Waterloo in the coffee table.  This was made easier due to the book give to Ian by Margaret.

Look at how happy he looks!  It's pretty cool.
