Went out to Dad’s for dinner, and as usual it was great. After sledding see article below, we came back enjoyed a great dinner. Opened a couple presents and just hung out.

It was awesome to see my nieces and my little nephew. I am amazed at how they all grow. I kind of notice my kids growing – but they seem mostly, the same. The same as last year, just a little higher and a little louder. But seeing Jane and Sarah blows my mind they are big kids, big grown up kids with defined personalities, opinions, likes, they have things there into – its so cool.

Calvin is such a joy to me. I got to hang out with him a little the morning before we headed out to Dad’s. I love his smile; I love how intent he is on things.

I miss my Dad.
