Mom flew up late last week to spend time with us!  Tom took 4 days off (CRAZY!) and we spent time together as a family.  It was wonderful!  Here are some (well, a lot) of the highlights of our time with her!

Singing Christmas carols and making Christmas crafts 

The girls wanted to take Grandma to Yumm-e yogurt.

Since Mom had never been up here during Christmas time, she was able to enjoy many of the our favorite Christmas activities in downtown.

Why can’t they do the show in the same place every year instead of making us figure out where to stand each year? We ended up seeing part of it . . . not the best evening, but I think everyone still had a little fun. (At least I hope so!)
