Let’s Talk December and a Brief January Birthday

It was Christmas last month, and although we had a super quiet time, it seemed like a finish line we needed to get to so we could move on to the next new year. Not sure why that was.

We got the tree up and some decorations which was nice.

Puddy thoroughly enjoyed it.

We had some libations to help make the mood festive.

Blane and Melanie stopped by at and dropped off a few dogs and a cat so they could go out to the Seattle Seahawk Monday Night Football game in Seattle. I think it was a successful journey!!

Ohh, and they had the annual Christmas Party for all of work. It’s the most incredible spread of sugar ever. EVER. There’s fruit too but really?

No.

We went up to the museum in Minneapolis. We had lunch at Surley and a draft at Insight. Dave had a GI bug which I got the following day. He was a trooper though.

After we recovered from our illnesses, the following weekend we tried out the new Brewery in town.

Yum.

And of course the usual football weekends at home.

Manny went to the vet and thankfully he didn’t pee a lake all over the floor as in times past--

I got a little puzzle for Christmas and I put it together.

And all that happened in December. All of it.

And as January began Dave had his birthday. He’s in the very last year of his work. Dang it. I can’t help but be jealous.

I gave him the best card ever

Sorry for the hurried tone but this is a short catch up post because today—YES TODAY-I am on the way to Amsterdam. In a few short hours I am on my way to the airport. I’m a week in the Netherlands with my sister Debbie. Woot and woot.

I have a few more things to pack so I better get on it. But I wanted to wish everyone a happy new year. I’ll be more talkative when I get back.

See you all then!
