It was Friday, December 22nd, and my mom, Bob, Alyse, and Jeff were anxiously awaiting the arrival or our sisters Heidi and Stacy at Christos in St. Paul. The latter had no clue we were there... until we sang "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" from the balcony to their table below. THAT's a good feeling.
Needless to say we had a blast on our holiday trip to the Land of 10,000 Lakes. It was fantastic to see everyone again and I had a great time! The 15 and a half hour car ride there with 5 grown adults wasn't so bad either (thank you, Lunesta). On the way back? Little more rough, but there were only 3 of us in the car so I couldn't just close my eyes and disappear. Best quote of the trip? Stacy, after playing her first game of Risk... "War - I'm into it now".
We also got to see cousins Steve and Mary Ann on the way home in Iowa. THAT was interesting. Just a warning to you all, but Steve has decided that when he's 89 and senile he's going to be as stubborn as a mule and do whatever the hell he wants. Josh, you may want to live far, far away.
We arrived back in TX to find warmer weather and our beds, which we promptly fell asleep in around 8:30 Wednesday morning. Hooray for roadtrips! I hope you all had as enjoyable a holiday as I had, and enough rest as well! Merry Christmas!
