Christmas in Mobile

Well, the ritual begins in 12 hours. Ryan and I will board a jet plane and head to the balmy South for Christmas. It's the year to be in Sawyer territory, and I'm looking forward to a week filled with family, friends, football, and fried turkey.

Here are just a few things I'm looking forward to:

• Sarah Kate's birthday party
• Hunting for dinosaurs with little Ruthie
• Playing Settlers of Catan late into the night
• Making gingerbread castles (yes, castles)
• Christmas caroling in the neighborhood
• Bringing back some great Fisher family tales
• Raising Cane's, Los Rancheros, Carpe Diem, Dew Drop Inn, etc.
• Seeing the Mathews family and the Plash family

We may sneak in a trip to Baton Rouge or a New Years trek downtown to see the big moonpie drop. One thing I know. It will be an epic good time.
