We had a great Christmas with Mom Emery; now we're ringing in 2005 with Mom and Dad Holly. We went to see the movie "The Incredibles", which was awesome, and we're going to shoot off some fireworks this evening. Hopefully tomorrow we'll get to go see the movie "A Series of Unfortunate Events" (we're trying to catch up!), then we'll make tacos to celebrate the New Year.
We hope you are enjoying the whole holiday season, and wish you and yours a Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas!
Well, the day is finally here - Christmas! We've had a great (albeit fast) season getting ready, and we've enjoyed doing things for others as well as buying gifts for each other and our families. We hope you are having a great time celebrating Jesus' birthday and are looking forward to 2005!
We had a good time video-chatting with my brother out in in California today. He bought web cams for me, my Dad, and himself about 3 years ago with the idea that we could use them as video phone to keep on touch, but the company stopped offering it's connection service about 2 years ago. We kind of let it slide until he moved out to California; because of the distance and lack of ability to visit he started talking about the web cams again, so I started searching for a way for us to use them. The simplest way I found was the Eyeball video chat client - it was an easy install and worked really well today. A very nice way to celebrate Cmas with far-flung family and friends! (Send me an e-mail if you're curious or want to vchat! :-)
Anyways, we hope you have had a Merry Christmas! Check out our update letter if you have a couple of minutes. Take care!

Christmas is almost here!
Well, Christmas is almost here and we're at full speed. The kids's Winter Break begins now, so they are excited about sleeping in, watching tv, and not having to worry about homework. Sue and I are almost ready for 12/25, but we still have a lot of wrapping to do. Mom Emery will be coming up in a few days to spend Christmas with us, which should be a lot of fun! We hope you are enjoying the "Holly-day" season and are thinking about the wonderful Gift that is the Reason for the Season -- Jesus! Have fun!
