Celebrating in Minnesota


Mike and I traveled to Minnesota to celebrate a belated Christmas and New Year's Eve with my family. We had a fabulous weekend!! Here are a few highlights:
* Tour (with Dad) of the Brau Brothers Brewery
* Supper at the Brau Haus - a favorite spot when we visit Lucan
* Playing with Addie - reading books and making animal sounds - we can be entertained by her for hours!
* Star cookies, green Christmas corn flake "cookies", chocolate cake/dessert, muffins...and bacon - New Year's diets had to wait until we got back to Nebraska with Mom's good baking
* Yahtzee competition between Lexy, Mom, Lisa and Mike with Lexy rolling TWO Yahtzee's in one game - tough to beat - we'll be looking for a re-match on the next visit
* New Year's Eve with Ann, Derrick, Cindy and Kevin to T-Tommy's in Currie and a stop at Breezy Point for a nightcap on the way home
* Ringing in the New Year with a toast with Mom and Dad - first time in a few years that we've been able to stay awake to see it!

Wishing everyone a happy, healthy 2008!!
