So, having been in San Diego just a few weeks, we head back east for Christmas. The trip itinerary this time includes Milwaukee, Chapin, and Dayton. We also had stopovers in Phoenix and Charlotte. We left on a very nice San Diego day. Notice the lack of jackets in this photograph. I was warm in the sweater I was wearing. But, it is family we must see, so onto Milwaukee we go. Through Phoenix. In Phoenix, we saw Rapper and Actor Ice-T passing though, with his wife. It didn't really hit me who it was until he was about even with me. So, no photographs, no autographs. Besides I wouldn't know what to say to him if I saw him. I'm no big fan of his rapping, or acting, so we'll just add him to the list of famous people I've seen in airports. The list now includes two: Ice-T and Emmanuelle Lewis.
The holidays at my family's house includes the cookie day tradition. The day when we gather to make cookies and don the cooking articles of clothing my mom prepares. We've had aprons, hats, and this year, oven mitts. Some cookies get made every year, others are experiments that sometimes become traditions. This year was the first year in Peg and Dave's new house, and one of the biggest cookie days we've had. We greatly missed the presence of my sister, but my sister in law's sister and her husband came this year. We were also joined by Dave's niece and fiancé.
Other things that go along with cookie day includes sugar highs, silliness, 
cookies poorly decorated by John. (One year I was mixing colors and managed to make grey frosting.)
We also had lots of snow, and that gave me and Dawn opportunity to play in the snow. We did try sledding, but the snow, the day we decided to go out was too wet. We did manage to snap a few cute pictures though.
