Battle of the Bands

Sierra did a great job fronting for the "Dead Singers" in the battle of the bands.  They rocked a great version of "Your Song"

We had a wonderful snow while they were here...

The girls were at school, we went out for lunch.  This picture shows the elusive James...

I am very remiss for not posting enough images from our wonderful Thanksgiving spent with our dear friends the Jones's.  Here's a few pictures of the sordid crew.

Thankful for a mild winter this year...

Though the locals complain of an "unusually" cold winter it sure seems pretty mild to me.  Here's a screen grab from a couple of weeks ago.  (not sure it was quite as sunny as it predicted but probably as warm)
Really, the only time it's been cold here was when the Jone's (from Maine) came to visit!
