Merry Christmas

 We had DJ, Abbie, Bryce, Brynne and Allista and Bailey over for Christmas Eve Dinner. It was pretty good considering I cooked it. Ha!  It was a fun relaxing evening. Brynne is adorable!

 

We went down to Mike's yesterday to spend the day with him and his family. We started out by checking out the Wanek Center walking track. I'm impressed it is a very nice place. 9 laps = 1 mile 

After that we drove to Winona to see Kennedy. We had a late lunch at Arby's and checked out her apartment on the horse farm. There were a horses, cats and dogs...oh my! 

Kennedy joined us to for the drive to La Crosse to view the Rotary Lights. It has been around for 30 years. I really feel old! The line wasn't too long and we got through in an hour which is pretty good. 

We started our Christmas festivities yesterday with dinner at the Stayer's house. Greg's mom Linda is in town for the holidays so it is always nice to see her. We had very good pot roast with potatoes and carrots. We had this amazing raspberry cake from Costco. We exchanged some presents and then we did some diamond art. It was a lot more fun that I thought it would be. I completed 2 ugly sweaters and Eric did 3. 

We picked up Anna at her dorm and met Danielle, Bradley, Blake and Carter at Culver's for our pre-lights dinner. Carter was insistent I had to sit next to him. He stole my food. haha. Afterwards we walked through the Kiwanis lights. It was so warm, perfect weather for a walk!

We celebrated Evelyn’s birthday on Saturday. I can’t believe she is 15!
