Holiday Week 2021

 The week in December between Christmas and the New Year is when our family gets together. This year was special for many reasons.  Maggie was able to come up from Georgia a week before Christmas so we were able to spend extra time with her.  Adrien, Molly's boyfriend, finally moved to the United States. Chase, Maggie's boyfriend, was able to come up for the week.

We had Christmas in Cedar Rapids at Molly's house. We all then headed to our house for a week of fun. There were six humans and five cats to make the week exciting.  We played a lot of games, did a lot of cooking, and did a lot of eating and drinking.  We also worked out everyday in the basement. Mike has his own little gym down there so we all took advantage of it. There was always snow to shovel and we did go out a little bit. Once to go out for lunch in town and once at Sutliff. We always enjoy photo shoots on the bridge.

Drinking some very nice products from France.

We had some issues with cats in the basement ceiling.

I invited my friend Kelly over for a meal. Just so happens he is a photographer so we had a fun photo shoot!

It was a really fun week.  The worst part is when everyone leaves to go home. I get extremely sad and just walk around the house.  A day or two later I am back into my schedule and not as sad. I start looking forward to when we will be together again!
