Thanksgiving and Christmas 2016

Then I went to see my family in Manhattan.
Then Scott came to Manhattan for Thanksgiving and the day before. He met my family.  
Then we drove back to Colorado.  Long drives!  Good visits!

Christmas - I flew to O'Hare in Chicago, Illinois then took the L downtown to meet Johnny Belom at the Field Museum.  Then we rode the Metra back to Tinley Park and he drove me to Vicki's.  Fun day but oh so cold and windy in the Windy City.

The family time was mostly great!  Christmas eve eve at Vicki's with great food and the Santa Hat game.  Mom and Dad are still getting by with caregivers altho they arem't there when I'm there.  Parent duty is tough!  Ronnie brought Joann P. and Gianna over so we could make dog balls one day.  Christmas at Craig's with us and Kelly's family.  The kids are so excited and sweet!
