Christmas was very busy for us this year and we didn't even travel out of town. The week started with my parents coming up to Chicago for us to take them to the airport. We had to get up at about 4:30 am to get them to O'hare in time. They also left Oscar with us for the week. While both dogs were pretty good all week, they liked to get us up very early so they could play with each other.
Christmas Eve we headed to Barrington to celebrate Luke's sisters birthday with Anna, Dave, Jeanne and John. From there we went to Luke's aunts house for Christmas Eve festivities and to celebrate with Luke's Dad's side of the family. Christmas morning Luke and I woke up in our own house for the first time in 5 years. That was wonderful to finally be home for Christmas! But later that day we went back to Barrington to celebrate Christmas with Luke's Mom's side of the family. Most of his aunts and uncles and cousins were there so it was really good to see everyone.
We haven't even celebrated Christmas with my family yet but that is yet to come January 8-10.
