Christmas at the Fergusons

Nana is helping Elli play with her new wooden dress-up dolls. The kids went together to get the parents an air purifier, which helped my allergies while I was there. Elli got some nice gifts as well as each of the kids too. It was fun opening gifts Christmas morning.

After a very delicious Christmas dinner, we all bundled up for a long walk in the cold air. We went down the icy roads to the golf course and walked in the deer trcks, and snow mobile tracks for that matter. It felt good to burn some calories and be together. Elli did a little walking, but was enjoying being carried by family members for the most part.

Our plan was to leave Friday the 26th to head home. Well, Toleda got so much ice that morning, that our trip was blocked by a shut-down highway 75South. So we waited until later in the day. Once we hit the road, we realized that there was so much traffic, we wouldn't get home for another several hours. So, we turned back, went to Toledo and watched Devin play basketball that evening. As it worked out Jenna and Justin were on their way home from the honeymoon and we met up with them as well. So the entire family was able to watch Devin play ball and spend a couple more hours together. It made for a late night arrival, but good memories. Devin's team lost, sad to say, but they did play against a VERY good team.
