Between Southworth with Bjørn’s family and Blodgett with my family, it felt a little like a Dr. Seuss book: we drove here, we drove there, we drove up, we drove down. We drove all around! Ruby was quite clingy and as we later learned, sick for a majority of the trip. So it was a chaotic time.
But time was well spent with family, delicious dinners eaten, coffee dates with sisters relished, marathons ran (not by us, but Peter), and more. It was a good time!

Ruby’s First Christmas.

Ada helping Daddy open his gift.

Ada with the Georgians.

Ada got to spend time with this guy.

And we got to spend time with this little guy.

Peter waving to Ada as he finished his marathon.

A rare Ruby moment.

Some of the Bulthuis Women. And yes, I did notice how much Esther and I look alike in this shot. Eeiry.

We finished off the break by celebrating the Eide Christmas Get-Together on New Years Eve.
