For the holidays we traveled to Omaha, Nebraska (where Neal grew up and where his mom and sister, Carolyn, still live). It was beautiful driving home from the airport a few nights before Christmas and seeing snow on the ground with the city all decked out in lights and Christmas decorations. Arriving at Lynn's home was just as festive, as she had a decorated tree in the front sitting room and another one in the family room. Stockings were hung along the fireplace and the scent of fresh baked cookies was in the air. A visit to Lynn's house always means plenty to eat! And boy did we do just that - EAT! It was a wonderful time and a joy to be able to spend the holidays with family.
Snow!

Carolyn's Christmas nature tree. I think this might be the coolest tree I've ever seen. Over the years she has collected all kinds of animal ornaments and has probably every species known to man hung on this tree. There's even a St. Francis to watch over them all. I love it!
We had a chance to stop by the Boyer's and chat for a while. What fun they are! We love you guys.
This is a picture of our house all decorated before we left for Omaha. There is a distinct possibility that it may have been the brightest on the block. :-)
