From SC to MN

John & I had a wonderful Christmas with our families in SC. On Christmas day we went to see Marley & Me, which was cute, but is not a kids movie. It's more about family and balancing a career then it is about a crazy dog, but I liked it. I won't say much, but you should all know that there are some very sad moments. My good friend Katie called to warn me, but it was too late...we had already seen it! haha.

On our way to Rochester we stopped in Cleveland to visit with friends. We ate at our favorite Mexican place in the world Las Margaritas with Chris & Becca, Monty & his fiancé Trisha, Abby & Chris's parents Gary and Jill. Marissa and Kevin stopped by to let me meet beautiful baby Ella Rose. She is even more precious in real life then in pictures & I'm so happy I go to hold her!

The pups did great on the ride home and were still sleepy when we arrived in Rochester despite the looonnnggg hours in the car. We were blessed to pull into a shoveled driveway!!! We thought it was our neighbor, but when we went over to thank him his wife said it wasn't him! Now it's a mystery! Whoever you are THANK YOU!!!!!!

I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!
