Merry Christmas
Season’s greetings from the eastern states! We’ve ditched the desert for the cold, the snow, and lots and lots of family and friends this holiday season. Silas and Ivan are enjoying multiple Christmas-es as we travel from home to home, getting to open presents just about everywhere we visit. This morning of course was the best so far….because SANTA CAME to Grandma and Pap Pap’s!!!!!! Tomorrow we start venturing north to Grandma and Papa’s house where I’m sure Santa has left more goodies for the boys. Hopefully the forecasted snowstorm won’t slow us down.

Our first Christmas of the season: our small cozy family plus our dear friend Linda at home in Tucson the night before we flew east. Complete with a DELICIOUS braised lamb dinner…YUM!!!!
Time to fly. Silas and Huckleberry getting special first class treatment from the pilot.
Next Christmas stop: Pittsburgh! Ivan posing as a present under the tree.

Gorgeous…
…and cold. It was 26 degrees out when we started! This was probably the fastest 8.5 miles I’ve ever run – just to keep warm!!!!!
And it was game day. We passed plenty of 8am tailgaters already getting their drink on.

…And finally, Christmas morning!! Silas inspecting Santa’s delivery and wondering why he didn’t finish all his cookies and milk.
Santa done good.
Ivan’s more impressed with the wrapping paper.
