Road Trip for the Holidays!

So we are posting from Becca's parents home in Aztec, NM (near Farmington) - we left Thursday evening and drove all night with Sakari and Jack. The trip is about 12-13 hours and we drove straight through and our daughter and puppy are amazing travelers! They pretty much slept the whole time and were happy :-) Love it! The drive went by quickly and was enjoyable...something about hours and hours with no distractions turns me introspective. It was great, those who know me know I prefer to be around people but every once in a while a whole lot of nothing is exactly what I need.

Anyway, this is Sakari's first visit to Grandma and Papa's house - she was SO excited to see them and Aunt Christy! She has become very comfortable with them and it's neat to see how well she fits with us. A family of dorks. Haha! We love coming here because it's away from the normal routine and we find great shopping deals here! We eat, sleep, cook, eat, watch movies, shop, eat, sleep, do some dishes, watch another movie, grab some leftovers, nap...you get the point. It's so fun to get to come visit the family and also Becca's extended family (who haven't got to meet Sakari yet). Becca's sister, Dacia and her family, will get hereon Monday sometime. We've already taken some great pics and video, but I need to locate the card reader...will post pics of Sakari in the snow (eating some snow) and some other pics soon!

Merry Christmas!
