We had a lovely Christmas... a bit of a busy one, but pleasant. We drove up to San Jose to visit Tom's family--had a blast tie-dying with them, among other things. Then on Christmas Eve, we boarded a plane and flew in tandem with Santa, landing in Detroit at 5:30 AM. We managed to make it up to my parents' home three hours later, and spent the morning with them relaxing and exchanging a few gifts. Then the whole crew (two siblings and their spouses, eight nieces and nephews) made it over for the evening, and we have been playing games, snacking on tasty food, and enjoying each other's company ever since.
I'm grateful for the health that we have and the spirit that makes up for the health we don't have. And also for you rowdy LoT, who make us feel a little more complete, a little more included, a little swankier every year. It's almost 2007, but belated Merry Christmas, anyway!
