Home for the Holidays

What a great Christmas vacation we had with our families! Not only did we get to see our loved ones, we also saw a "winter wonderland!" I had a shot at riding in the snow plow with Dan's dad Doug, but missed out. Next year is my year! We also got to snuggle with our nieces Isabelle and baby Maddy. We caught up with friends we haven't seen in a while and had some great R&R. Santa Dan gave me Dance Dance Revolution for Christmas. Sadly, he is a lot better than I am. I'm not exaggerating. I have witnesses. I gave Dan a beer making kit which he has already started prepping for. Overall, it was wonderful as always. We are always sad to leave. We are happy to say that Daisy slept the entire 12 hours home.
