Brrr..it is COLD out here!

I am sure we won't get a lot of sympathy from anyone..but man it is cold here!  It is 2 C right now and will be dropping below freezing tonight.  No snow though!  It makes the Christmas season seem a little more real, having palm trees decorated in the heat just seems wrong.   The cold air now makes us want to be inside snuggled under blankies watching a movie with hot chocolate..ahh..

The Christmas carols are playing right now, the candles are going, the presents are all bought and sent and now we are just waiting for Grandpa Munday to arrive in one week, then the big man dressed in red arrives not long after that...

There was a potluck dinner that we went to tonight, took my broccoli cheese casserole and ate some fantastic food from the others!

Mike and I are participating in the "Secret Santa" stocking event.  We all went to shop for our our secret santa's yesterday, Mike is really enjoying it!

The people here are so nice, it will be very hard to pack up and leave when we do.
