I'll Be Home for Christmas


We made the trip out to N.D. to celebrate Christmas with my family. This year was my family's turn to spend Christmas together, and who knew that it would fall over the weekend that the "winter storm of the quarter century" (yes, an actual quote I read in the newspaper from an actual official weather person). We left a day early to beat the "winter storm of the quarter century", and made it just fine. It was a good thing we did, because the day after we arrived, so did nearly 2 feet of snow. Yuck. Christmas did not go the way we initially planned, but it was fun indeed. Last year, being 2 months old, Luke slept through most of Christmas. This year, he had actual interest in visiting with people and opening his presents, which was so much fun to see.
Due to the weather, we did make an initially unplanned overnight pit stop at Andy's parent's house to stay and to break up the drive back in the aftermath of the "winter storm of the quarter century". While there, we did manage to squeeze in some sledding fun with all of the fresh snow! Luke was very excited to take a spin around the yard with Grandpa John!
