Over the River and through the Woods...

We have arrived home from an absolutely wonderful Christmas celebration.
And I thought I'd share just a few of our pics.



This was taken from the car window as John, Grandma, and I traveled the highways and by-ways to Emily and Brian's for the family's Christmas gathering.


This is our Buddy after a romp in the snow!  He was soaked, needed to be dried off a bit but looked rather sad at the whole idea!

Okay, He's a bit happier now!  He spent a few minutes rubbing his nose across the towel but, was not loving the camera.



We arrived at the Emily and Brian's in time for 6" of snow.  It really was beautiful.  It was the kind of snow that falls softly and looks like glitter.  I caught Emily by surprise...minus her pretty smile!


After a delightful Christmas meal of baked salmon,shrimp, salad, and an assortment of side dishes we settled in to exchange gifts.  Much fun was had by all!

Emily was commenting on the vintage her sister and brother-in-law brought her from a Door County Winery.


Take notice of the backround in the previous two pics.  The kids are have been rehabing their home.  Not too long ago these beautiful walls were nothing but studs and lath board!  We are amazed each time we visit at how much work they have done and how beautiful it is turning out.  The hardwood floors are original to the house.  Brian lovingly removed each board, removed nails, and when the time came replaced the floor, sanded, stained, and sealed the floors.  They are so pretty.  Windows are on the wish list!

Mandy and Grandma sharing a little love!

I hope that you had a happy holiday season filled with monents to treasure always.
