Christmas leave

Well finally got some time off from work. been a while since i have had some real time off to spent with family. The family and I packed up and went to the Upper Peninsula to spend the holidays with my Wife's family. we drove about 16 hours total straight through to Michigan. once we got there we had one tired little boy on our hands but we got unpacked and got to bed. we did surprise Dale and Sally by showing up a day early though. we went to church Sunday morning the 23rd. then the 24Th we went to Dale's parents house for pizza and visiting. I love to talk to Bob especially when he starts to talk about some of his involvement in WWII. Bob and I have a lot in common as we both like hard work and we both have PTSD. I feel like i have a connection with him.after pizza wen went back to church for Christmas eve service and back to Bob and Ele's for presents from them. i got lots of useful stuff and had a great time. oh i should mention that at this time i was hit with a pretty bad sinus infection. that sucked. Christmas morning we got up and opened presents from Santa. then i went back to bed as i was feeling pretty bad still. about noon most of Sally's family came over for traditional Christmas dinner. this year was Sally's turn to host it. dinner was really great and there was plenty of it. after that great time we then settled down and cleaned up and relaxed for a bit before we opened the last of the presents and had sauna. after sauna its time for bed.

till next time
