It should be a fairly quiet day - well that's relative since both boys will be here today.  (quiet doesn't enter into it much with both boys around :)  But, no big plans.  It's wet, rainy, cold and dreary so a good day for indoor activities.  Jeff is making chili for dinner tonight and then we will do our traditional drive around to look at Christmas lights.  Pretty laid back!

Hope you all enjoy your holiday weekend.   Have a wonderful Christmas Eve!
