It was a good Christmas. I spent Christmas Eve with the Moohoo clan and this morning they came here for brunch. Unky Herb and the Prairie Princess were back from southern Minnesota, and we had six at the table. We ate well, but maybe not as healthily as we might, but it was tasty and there were lots of helpers to get the food to the table. We opened our presents and chatted about the world and the surprising types of invasive species attacking the Minnesota landscape. Who knew that earthworms are not native to this continent and that they are a real threat to our native forests? I guess we all know now. Don't throw your old bait away in the forest.
The group for today, not included the Tousan who was snapping the picture. Everyone was well fed and pretty chipper when they left the house on Fairmount.
Just to remind everyone that December has been a record month for snowfall in the Twin Cities. There were about six more inches yesterday. There has been more snow this month than any previous December in recorded history here - 33.4 inches. The sidewalks in St Paul look like this. And the streets are lined with whitish walls of snow. More is likely on the way next week, too, according to the cheery weather creatures. The masochists.

Everyone looks well fed and happy, if a trifle chilly.
Yikes -- that snow pile height is impressive. And it is still December. Time to buy snowshoes.
Time to start saying Happy New Year, too.
