I had been informed in no uncertain terms by Marissa that she and Colin would be over at 8:00am to fix Christmas day breakfast. So, I was up at 7:30, took a quick shower, and was all set up for Christmas with Colin and Marissa just before 8:00.

It started out to be bright and sunny, but then as the morning wore on, it did cloud up some. I think there is a storm heading our way.

Anyway, Marissa fixed a huge breakfast of bacon, eggs, and potatoes. We had a grand time together until around noon when they had to head out. I had bought Marissa a Discovery Quest dvd, and so we watched one of the episodes from that while they were here.

After they left, a couple of my neighbors stopped in to say hi, and then I just spent the rest of the day hanging out, relaxing, and doing a movie marathon of sorts. It started snowing in the middle of the night and all through Saturday; about two inches. Very pretty.

And here comes Marissa up the walk, ready to get breakfast going.

Before Marissa got into tearing things apart in the kitchen, I thought I'd better get the coffee on.

It didn't take long for Marissa to get the bacon going!

Colin was running late because he had to make an Orange Juice Mercy Run to the store because dad forgot to get some while at the store.

Picture taken just seconds after these two gave each other a big hug. They refused to duplicate the scene for the fans.

Marissa busy getting the scrambled eggs mixed.

Colin lighting some of the fire bricks that Gary had dropped off for me for Christmas last night.

And here's the tree that Colin and Marissa picked out and decorated for me. You can see that it's a bright and sunny day, though that would change to cloudy later that afternoon and snow all day Saturday.

Marissa thought it hysterical that I had bought Colin this deep saute pan for cooking that he doesn't do, but I'm hoping he will feel guilty about now that he is in his own place. I also got him a peeler and a half dozen plastic freezer containers.
