Here in Champaign, Illinois, we enjoyed a fah-reezing downtown Christmas parade and lots and lots of snow! The morning after I ran out of my last final screaming hallelujah and dancing in the dark streets as little flakes fell from the sky, I rode the train to Chicago (a la The Polar Express) to 'pick up' Mom and Dad Gale at the airport. We had a lovely weekend with them, celebrating an early Christmas with a visit to the magical Reindeer Ranch, lots of shopping, fun surprises and of course, yummy food. They left us with perfect thoughtful just-what-we-needed gifts, lots of Kuwaiti souvenirs, and a warm fuzzy feeling in our hearts. Thanks so much Mom and Dad for leaving your beach paradise to come visit us in the arctic!! (tragically, I did not take nearly enough pictures of our time together.)
