Christmas 2012

Hello there again!  We have had a busy last couple of months!  December came and went in the blink of an eye it seems.  We celebrated Christmas with B's family, my family, and had our own little Christmas here at home.  It was so nice to just be with family and celebrate being together.  Thank goodness we actually had a white Christmas this year!

Carrying the "loot" through downtown.

Shopping wears B out!

The gang, minus K.  We missed you!

I will forever think of this place as Marshall Fields!

Right before Christmas, we went with my family to Chicago for a weekend.  We rode the train in, saw the Macy's gigantic tree, met up with M and E downtown and just had a great weekend.  My sister and I picked up these very cool willow sticks at Crate and Barrel--on mega sale.  The only issue with this was the they were about 3 feet long and we had to carry them all over downtown...maybe not the best planning on our part!  We did survive and had a wonderful time.
