expecting a Very Merry Christmas for all

Brian and I leave tomorrow for Michigan to visit family and friends. We are really looking forward to seeing everyone, and for those whom we will miss this holiday season... have a wonderful Christmas!

An advantage to both Brian and I working in creative environments, we have great friends with super duper talents.

Plus one more excuse to upgrade to an eggnog latte, tis the season...why not!
