Day 358

Christmas with the Mesarch clan! The girls were up around 6 am, but patiently (?) waited for the adults until around 8 am… then once we got some coffee, the fun began. The girls were super excited with what Santa brought. Leia got her iPod Touch, Monster high dolls, some clothes and Katie got a Criss Angel magic kit, Monster High dolls and a Pet Shop delight.

We drove to the Court House (Washington CH) tonight. We’ll see my family in the AM for Christmas! Can’t wait to see what Santa brought the kids!

Monster High! WOW!

Who is this Santa? And what is this that he leaves for me?

An iPod Touch!

Santa left me an Apple TV!?

Day 346

Went to some friend’s Holiday party today. The roads weren’t too bad until we got to N Minneapolis… and then I figured out why I kept my SUV. Fun times. I did love the idea for their food at the party… This “hot plate” type of appliance is called a “rocket” or something. But essentially, they had out a selection of meats, cheese and breads… along with some pineapple and veggies. You could kind of cook your own little bites. Very fun!

The Rocket

And then I wanted to get some nice shots of the snow, but it is just TOO DARN COLD. But this spot was fun with some great lines and textures.

Almost like sand dunes
