on the third day of Christmas

It was time to do some yoga burn, take Katie back to Mankato and drive to Vance & Kaitie’s house for Blomgren Christmas. I played a slide show of the slides from Mom & Dad’s honeymoon until I was a young girl—so fun to see my parents, brothers and myself as young people! Also got to see my grandparents, aunts and uncles and cousins. Wonderful memories to replay. 

We played ping pong, visited and watched the little running around. 25 people played the gift exchange. I got a beautiful hand painted sign by Summer, Brad got a wine opener, Osten got a cool towel, book about Minnesota and map of Minnesota, Katie got a black Stanley, Ally got a coffee maker & Anders got a Timberwolves sweatshirt. 

New memories were made and I had the chance to spend time with my incredible mother. She kept repeating herself  asking who people were, she never forgot Zach, Liana’s boyfriend 😍 

Thanks Vance and Katie for hosting over 30 people at your place! 


















We ended up driving home as there is a blizzard predicted to start tomorrow at 9am. Glad to have the drive behind us!

Time to care for Reese Johnson, a stately teenaged German shorthair. Her family is in Tampa to watch the Hawkeyes play in the Reliaquest Bow...
