After completing my four weeks of general surgery at Ben Taub, I hopped on a plane and headed home to the Inland Northwest. Unfortunately, I forgot what it's like to travel with a checked bag during the holidays, and my luggage didn't catch up with me for a couple days. That is the only explanation I can offer for the, above, awesome sweatpants and sweater (circa 7th grade). Sarah has a much more legitimate excuse for her attire- kayaking on beautiful Hayden Lake.
There's nothing like spending Christmas in wintry North Idaho with the family to get into the holiday spirit. The lake was gorgeous, fresh white snow hung heavily on the trees, and my nose stayed a bright shade of Rudolph red in the chilly air. In fact, I though I would just about freeze to death after having left Houston's weather in the 70s for the bitter cold of my hometown. Nonetheless, I managed with a few extra layers, Mom's belly-warming culinary feasts, and heartwarming good company and conversation. I knew I was on the most relaxing of vacations when Dad came upstairs with his arms full of boardgames!

It was a wonderful Christmas - despite your fashionable attire. So glad you came home.
SO great to spend the holidays with you, Bubba! I still have mint chocolate truffles in my fridge...you should visit me again! :)
