The Coal Speaker Christmas 2014 family portrait has been taken. Mutley is edging in closer.. The leg lamp is on. The Christmas lights, though, are still balled up in a disgraceful mess on the desk. My wife Tara is a graduate and, as you can see, Ayden is fully engaged with snow and throwing it accordingly at me.. 

A little not: Ayden requested Frankenstein in a Christmas hat. Really.

He sees the little logo on top of CoalSpeaker.com when either update the site or view it.. he always stops and tells me to include Frankenstein, because he says Frankie is a ‘good guy.’  





So he joins the family in the Christmas spirit.
