    My sweet parents...

    My Dad rocks and my Mom is pretty cool too! My family all live at least 3000km away from here. I have three siblings, all of whom my parents see every day. My sister lives across the street from my parents and all of them work for my Dad's company. I get back once a year. I try for twice but it doesn't always work that way. I was there in August for a week and was saving up to go next August when we have a big reunion on my Dad's side. Not planning a Christmas visit, although I have spent some time trying to find a way to swing that too.

    My Dad called yesterday. He's a gruff ol' farm boy with a soft heart. "If I send you the money, can you come home for Christmas?" I just booked my ticket for December 22-28!

    Stuart hates the holidays and is quite happy to stay home with the critters. Last year he didn't even take the day off work! His Dad is here so if he wants to he does have someone to hang out with for the day. Lots of our friends will invite him for dinner(he won't show up, but they'll ask). I haven't been with my family for Christmas since before my youngest niece was born! I am so looking forward to spending Christmas with some little ones around!

    What a perfect gift! Your Dad is a wonderful guy - but you already know that. Have an amazing holiday with your family.

    I think that is absolutely awesome! Lucky you. I would not like living quite that far from my family. I hope all goes well and you have a wonderful visit.

    Well, Here's a "late" Merry Christmas, Glacier!!

    Now, we'd all like a Trip Report -
