Travel Back
Thankfully, one piece of luggage (Gabi's little suitcase) hadn't made it when we arrived in December. As a result, we had a phone number in the system, so American Airlines called us to let us know that the flight from Toledo to Chicago was cancelled due to the frigid weather, and wondering if we would want to leave many hours later and fly from Detroit. Shorter travel time? Yes! We were switched to a Delta flight and left in the afternoon, making the connection to Malaysia Airlines in Paris.
We had quite a bit of a problem getting the boarding passes in Paris, as the gate agent was not very sure of what to do with our ticket since it had been changed, but only on the first leg. After a long hour of sitting in a tiny waiting area, we finally were allowed through just as the plane was boarding. All in all, it didn't end up being too bad, but we were thankful for the notification that the flight had been cancelled and American Eagle's agent being proactive in booking us on a different flight.

S'mores
Toledo Basketball


Laura was kind enough to do one cheer for us, and Reeve got a bit of court time during halftime.
Sledding! Wow!
How amazing to be invited over to the Quockert backyard to do some sledding. We found that the neighbor's yard had a cleaner run, which we were able to explore with some great sledding. Wow - how fun! With one adult running interference to avoid hitting the lake. . .we made lots of runs up and down on an absolutely stunningly glorious day. It started with stunning blue skies and was a sight to behold.
The family had fun - and here is a pix of each of us on a fun day worth remembering!
The Quockerts also came out for a few runs!

Bitter Cold!

It was sad to say "goodbye," to Auntie Tasha, but she wasn't too disappointed to be heading to Hawaii (via Seattle) for some warmer weather. A touch of winter reminded us of how nostalgic snow seems - but how bitter cold it can be when actually felt!

An Auntie Tasha Christmas!


Another celebration? Yes! (Included: a debate on the size of "small" earrings.)
SNOW!
In an answer to prayer, we ended up with snow. While playing a game at the kitchen table, Tracy's exuberant scream put us all on edge - until she rushed outside to see the huge flakes of snow falling down. Within moments, we were in coats and shoes outside trying to catch huge, luscious snowflakes in our mouths!
How beautiful; how fun!

Toledo Art Museum
We hadn't visited the Toledo Art Museum in some time, so with Auntie Tasha visiting (from DC en route back to Hawaii), we thought this would be a fabulous time to see some of the sights in Toledo. It was a cold, sleet-filled day, but we enjoyed seeing a glass blowing demonstration and some truly amazing art. What a jewel in Toledo.

A New Year!
How fun to wake up to 2015. For the first time ever, we thought, both Rania and Reeve stayed up to watch the ball drop. There was some dancing to Taylor Swift, then straight to bed! And to start the new year, some crazy cold temperatures - and more ice on the lake. Yea!
