Will took and passed his black belt test on November 13th, the culmination of five years of training. Five other students passed at the same test, including several of Will's friends. Since then, Will has renewed enthusiasm for Taekwon-Do and spent many hours at the studio during Christmas break. |

The first big snowstorm of the season provides a traditional White Christmas with more than a foot and a half of white powder. We had Bill, SangOk, Andy, Dani, Elaine, Jim and Deb over for Xmas-eve dinner, then did the present-opening orgy the next morning. Will got his wish, the biggest, fastest computer in the house, and Brie got hers, the itty-bitty Ipod Nano. |
Patric being a sweetie! Luv u Patric! |

The Christmas tree with all its presents. It took us about 2 1/2 hours to open all of them. We had to keep waking up Kate. |
