Saturday - Mark made a quick run to Dunkin Donuts for treats before we took off for Dixon (he drove his truck which his Dad will use this winter) and I was in the car. We were surprised to see about 2" of snow which had fallen overnight as we got closer to Mendota (nothing here at home). Stopped to see Dad at nursing home - not having a good day....
Off to Dixon for family Christmas with Mark's clan.....good lunch and visiting, checked into the Comfort Inn, changed clothes and off to party. All gathered for 4:30 Mass at St. Pat's followed by bountiful feast at Holloway Center. Big crowd (including Annette's parents) with so much good food, chatter, presents, etc. Several went back to hotel for games and more visiting.
Sunday - Bright sunny day. Breakfast with several of the family; said our good-byes and Merry Christmas wishes. Stopped to see Mark's folks and then to see Dad who was doing better today. Met Bob and Linda for lunch at The China Buffet. Bob and I went back to nursing home. Mark and Linda went to the house to discuss their new IPhones. Bob and I visited our cousin, Jim, too, and then back to house for delicious grasshopper pie. We got home at 5:30. FUN weekend!
