Road Trip '08: First stop.

Okay, this was our year to STAY HOME and relax for Christmas. We were NOT going to stuff our suitcases and fight the holiday traffic. We were going to stay home, sleep in our own beds, watch movies, etc.. My husband had two luxurious weeks off for Christmas and we were going to enjoy every minute of it. All was going according to the plan for the first couple of days. The rainy cold weather persisted and we were really starting to get the itch. A couple more days passed and severe cabin fever settled in. Thankfully, Christmas Eve broke the monotony and we celebrated a nice Christmas at home with my dad. Christmas night.... we stuffed out suitcases. What happened next? The Road Trip of '08 ! Who knew we would be celebrating New Year's Eve half way across the country?

First stop: Gramanee's!!


She was watching....

and waiting....


to see if Gramanee could bring Tommy or Dan in from the pasture.
Unfortunately, not this time.



T's favorite activity. See him driving the tractor??




He had to put on his work boots and help Papa.. dig a hole??



There are so many fun things to see and do at Gramanee's! However, the best part of the visit is hanging out with the fam.


Apparently SOME of us have a different idea of what family time looks like. I guess it looks a LOT like Solitaire to uncle Chris.


My super sweet niece that is following OH SO CLOSELY in her mother's and grandmother's footsteps! That's right Gramanee, I'm calling you OUT!


Showing off a Christmas gift to her cuz!

We had a blast hanging out with my husband's fam. down on Gramanee and Papa's farm. It was the perfect start to, what ended up being, a crazy long road trip.
