片道６時間かけてジョシュの実家のミネソタまで行ってきました。実家に行くのはこれで４回目ですわ。ってか片道６時間、休憩しながらだったけど車、乗っているの、辛かった。クリスマスイブはジョシュの両親と妹夫婦と過ごしました。最後は皆でボードゲームをしたんだけど楽しかったですわ。実は２年前のクリスマスイブもミネソタにいました。その時に、ジョシュにプロポーズをされたんだけど、全く予知してなかったから、かなりの勢いで驚いたわ。しかもおばあちゃんに、両親、お姉ちゃん夫婦に子供達、弟夫婦、妹夫婦がいる前で、まぁ、ロマンティックだったけど、、、次のロマンティックはいつかしらねぇ。。。。
Just last Saturday, we left Bellevue bound for Minnesota to celebrate Christmas 2007 with the family! It was a 6-hour drive that took us into Iowa and up to Minnesota. Not much to see so I will spare you the details. Upon arrival at my parents house, we introduced Day-bis & Kuro and unloaded our Highlander. The following morning we attended Hosanna and saw niece's Elizabeth & Heidi in their Christmas concert. Wonderful performance! This was the second Christmas in Minnesota that Takako & I have celebrated. The first was back in 2005, the perfect setting for the 'proposal'. The only difference was that Grandma Mabel was not here to enjoy the time together. Also, this year Jared & Mary travelled down to Florida to celebrate with Mary's family, so we only saw them the first two days then dropped them off at the airport in on Christmas Eve morning. Jen, Dean & E, H, S, A were going to celebrate Christmas Eve with the Swenson's. It was a nice quiet evening at home for eating Potato Chowder with Mom, Dad, Chris, Jill, Takako & of course the two little boys. After opening presents, we played the board game. Then it was on to Christmas Day... [to be continued]
