We just returned a week ago from spending the holidays in the homeland (a.k.a. Minnesota). We were able to see lots of friends and family and had the best time. And of course, being that it was Minnesota, there was plenty of snow to go around. I could have done without those last few inches, but Luke just couldn't get enough (see pictures below).
I got to spend lots of time with my very best friend, Miyong and we even made it to the Holidazzle parade - though we almost froze our toes off. I also made about a million cookies with Jenn, Betty and Kirsti at our third annual holiday cookie bake day! This year we had an extra special helper - six-month-old baby Will (three-month-old Lucia was going to come too, but then she opted to stay home with dad).
We spent Christmas Eve in Minnetonka and drove down to Wells for the rest of the holiday, where we got to meet our two-month old niece, Claire. She is the cutest, tiniest, must cuddly little baby girl in the world! Luke spent some time holding her during the weekend, but his biggest qualm was that she couldn't "play" with him yet.
However, when Luke got bored with Claire sleeping and laying around all the time, he took to the great outdoors with our brother-in-law Nick. And when we heard a loud thud coming from outside the house (a clatter, if you will), it wasn't Santa Claus, but Luke and Nick jumping off the roof into the snow. Naturally.
I thought I would leave you with this photo from my parents' cozy living room.
We hope your Christmas was as blessed as ours!
