First, you’ll notice that this post is far displaced from Christmas. It’s hard to believe that so much time has passed since the last time that I’ve updated the family blog.
Most of the Christmas this year was what you would expect for us: the three, the presents, having a big group of the family go to church together. I must say that as much as I like to be eco friendly, I just don’t like the new bulbs on Christmas trees, so I reverted back to the old type of Christmas bulbs. They have a softer look and are smaller, which looks better on trees. The picture didn’t turn out so great but here it is anyhow:

You might know that I’m a tech geek and so I had been playing around with Foursquare, which is an app for my Android phone that Cat got me as a birthday present, nice! This was actually one of the last times that I did check in. I see why businesses would want to use Foursquare but without much of an incentive for me to take the time to check in, I gave it up.

The most interesting thing about Christmas might have been how we spent Christmas night! We were at Cats mom’s house eating dinner and having a good time with her family when we realized that there was a storm a brewin’. A big storm! A storm that would prevent us from driving to Maine and cut our trip there in half.
So we jumped in the car, ran back to Elizabethtown to get the cats and the bags that we packed, and headed out to Maine Christmas night. Cat was a real trooper on this trip. Cat took over for me about 1 am and I fell fast asleep. The next thing I know it’s 5 or 6 in the morning and she was still going! I took back over but I didn’t think I was going to get near that much sleep or that she was going to drive quite as far as she did.
We made it up to her dad’s safe and sound and have a very nice visit with them as well.
