We had wonderful winter visitors, and made some great visits, over the holidays!
Here are some pretty pics. For starters, Ms. Mary Grace and her parents Amber and Adam came to Minnesota to see us! Well, they also came to see the loads of family they have in town, but also us. As you dear readers may recall, we visited Amber and Adam and MG last Christmastime in the Netherlands. Amber was the matron-of-honor in our wedding, Gracie a flower-girl, and Adam an honorary flower-boy. Or flower man. Or whatever he prefers to be called. He's a professional philosopher (really!) so he probably has an opinion about that. But here's Mary Grace being her funny-creative self, with boots on her hands.
Shortly thererafter, Nick and I braved the great holiday blizzard of 2009 to drive to Omaha. We needed a few drinks at Clancy's to gain our bearings.
With that settled, we enjoyed lots of family time in the Nebraska blizzard.
Here's a lovely pic of my mother and newborn niece Macy Jade, near the yule log. They're both a little skinny, but the baby has gleefully fattened up over the winter. Aren't they both pretty!!!!
The midwestern drive was enchanting. The Great Plains stretched on limitless, crystalline, shimmering.
When we returned home to Minnesota, we celebrated our first New Year's as a married couple with silly 2010 'champagne' glasses which I bought from the grocery store. We might afford nicer crystal in future decades, but we might not be so good-lookin' then!
