This year, we drove to Colfax! It took 18 hours door to door, including stops. We wanted to bring Bolts to Colfax to meet his other Grandma, aunts, uncles, & cousins.
He did really good on the drive - much better than we thought.
He loved Grandma H - wouldn't stay off her lap!
We arrived around 4 pm on Christmas Eve - just in time for Mass. Then early the next morning, we headed to my sisters house for their Christmas party ;)
Then we took Bolts for a walk in the park. It was cold, but he was so happy to run around. He loved it - nice open space to go crazy!
Chris even took him down the slide :)
Later, it was time for my mom's Christmas party! My brother & his family (including my sister in law's mom), and my sister & her family all converged on my mom's house! 3 dogs in total too!
My nieces made a gingerbread house!
The dogs were all well behaved - they were in heaven with all the yummy scents!
Later in the afternoon -it was time to open presents!!
My brother in law - always primed for a good photo op!
Our $2 dollar gifts - another great year! Money tree; socks & gloves; flashlights; hugs & kisses; memory enhancers; sunglass kits. We have so much fun with them!
Time for our photos!

The rest of the week was spent watching basketball games at the holiday tournament! My niece played - and did great!
And my brother in law coached the boys team - they were so good, they won the whole tournament!
The tournament was 3 days long. We went to 4 games - missed the Saturday finals.
The trip home was a big success - short, but fun filled!
