Semester End

Kris, Katie, and I have finished school for the semester and the family is winding up for Christmas in a few days.  Karen,, Kris, and I saw the new Star Wars movie this past week and enjoyed it. Weather has still been pretty warm with no sign of snow. We saw robins getting ready to overwinter in Peoria. Katie and I went for a bike ride on Saturday in East Peoria and had fun.  On Sunday night we took a break from baking to go ice skating at the Winterfest in downtown Peoria.  Katie has never gone before, and the rest of us have not gone skating in quite a while.  We were all pretty wobbly but did OK.
