I'm not even going to try to get these pictures in order... They are a mix of mine and others and I'm still collecting more pictures!

Christmas time! Mom and Darrell came up for Christmas and as a surprise to them - so did my brother and his family. They normally go to Utah during Christmas but COVID messed up their plans and Matt decided to last-minute drive to Cleveland. It was a lot of fun and to say Mom and Darrell were surprised, would be an understatement!

They were all here for a short time period, but we packed in as much as we could - we ate some great food, had some good drinks, the kids went to a rope and climbing place and of course the regular Christmas activities - like presents and cookies!

Well, this is really out of order... Anyways, Dad and Bev joined us for New Year. We were also very active with shopping, many many games, bowling, movies and more. It was a little tamer instead of 11 people being in the house! My holiday season ended with me helping the girls with schoolwork - like Heidi's Michelle Obama project... 

Chris made a delicious 27 pound turkey for New Year's Day - it was delicious!

Rizzo couldn't make it to midnight and I had to have proof of Nana cuddling with the dogs...

And back to random pictures from Christmas...

And just like that - it is now 2022 and the holidays are done! Now it is time to get back into school, work, volleyball and we have a vacation trip coming up in a month! Thank you to all who visited us - it was so much fun!
