Merry Christmas

Besides missing the extended family Klinker and Scheele Christmases due to all of us getting the flu, Christmas was just as wonderful as usual.  We celebrated with Paul's family a couple days before Christmas, then with my family Christmas Eve and the few days after.  It was relaxing and wonderful to spend time with all our favorite people!

So many stockings...I love it!

The Friday we got back home after Christmas, most of my family followed us down a few hours later, stopping by on their way to Nashville.  We had 23 extra people sleep at our house that night!  It was a full house at Hotel Klinker.

New Years week is going to be a slow one, which I happily welcome.  We do have to get some school work done, but other than that, we have no plans.  It's going to be a good week!
