Christmas in Minnesota

Our second half of December was spent in Minnesota with so many of you. We had an amazing trip and it was so special to spend time with everyone! After navigating changing flight schedules (a snowstorm hit Philly on our departure date), we were able to celebrate Dad's 60th (!) birthday with a surprise dinner at Dakota Jazz Club. Tower of Power was playing that night and wow was it memorable!

We spent our first week with Mary and Steve in Anoka (special "thank you" for the hospitality!) while getting to see so many friends and family and co-workers in Minneapolis. Another special thanks to Grandma & Grandpa for the car rental!

Christmas with the Fuchs family was on Sunday - and what fun! The special surprise was Mary's gift. Steve got her a framed piece of art that she fell in love with when they came out to visit. We got to be special elves getting the gorgeous painting from Manayunk to Minneapolis!

We were up in Hibbing for a fabulous Christmas! Brie was our amazing chauffeur and it was so fun to get chat time to and from. We missed cutting down the tree in the woods, but we got to enjoy it all dressed up! After a busy week in Minneapolis the week before, it was fun to relax with books and games and some amazing food for the holiday. We even got in a sauna to help us cope with the frigid weather. We're not used to the cold anymore!

We were even able to swing by Grand Rapids for one night to spend the night with Megan, Matt, and Elsa!

We had so much fun that we were bad about taking pictures, but we had an incredible trip seeing everyone!
