Christmas

The last day of class was December 20, and Matt and Sarah arrived at the Minneapolis airport withing an hour of each other on the 21st. It was a lot of fun. Here's a taste:

We had a couple of snow storms while they were here, and I talked them into going for a walk during the "most vigorous" one. It was snowing quite a lot, and the wind was gusting up to 40 MPH. Here they are at the beginning of the walk.

You can see their enthusiasm as we got into the trek.

There was enough spirit left at the end for some snow angels.

We intended to go to a movie on the 24th, but the theater was closed for a private party (?!). We went for a drive around Lake Pepin instead. First from the Minnesota side looking across to Wisconsin.

From the Wisconsin side.

The day before Matt and Sarah flew back we went to a family gathering at Jan's sister's home a little more than an hour's drive into Wisconsin. The fun part of winter....
