Christmas Day

Maddy ready for the long road trip in her
new outfit from Gramma Nancy

After the morning's festivities, we packed up the car and headed up north for the week. We spent most of Christmas day in the car, which most likely will become an annual event. Next year we will know better than to not pack a lunch though. It didn't even occur to us that nothing would be open but gas stations. We did luck out though in Gaylord, where we found a Quiznos open from 12 - 4. We got there just in time at 3:45. So for our Christmas lunch we ate sub sandwiches at Quiznos.

Maddy really enjoyed her ham and cheese

We finally made it up north at about 9 pm. The trip was pretty easy, with dry roads all the way except for the last 30 minutes, in which we ran into snow. My brother John's in-laws (Dodas) were kind enough to invite us over for leftovers from their Christmas dinner. So we got to enjoy tenderloins and potatoes...a great way to end the day. My mom and dad called and were stuck in Miami, Florida for the night on their way back home from Colombia, South America. They had to stay the night in the airport. It was sure an interesting Christmas day.
