This year we celebrated ThanksChristmas with the Powell side of the family. ThanksChristmas is when you have Thanksgiving on Thanksgiving and Christmas the day after Thanksgiving. This gives us a chance to still celebrate Christmas with family we won't see for quite some time.
After ThanksChristmas we celebrated Christmas with the DeWalk side of the family. We spent 4 days in Ohio with the white Christmas.... For me Christmas in Ohio is special - it's hectic now with long days in cramped houses but it really brings back memories of special times at Christmas with my Grandparents, Mom and Dad, Sisters and all the Aunts and Uncles.
We then traveled with the family to my parents house and spent 4 days in Pennsylvania. While in PA I had the opportunity to get sick, I will spare you the details on the sick part but it wasn't any fun. We also had the change to go snowtubing - I was a little skeptical of going tubing since I really wanted to be skiiing but after a few runs we were all having fun.
Here's a snapshot
