Christmas (December 2015)

This year we decided to pack all of our Christmas celebrations and travel into 7 days.  First stop was Appleton to celebrate with the Behnke side where we also managed to squeeze in a visit with both sets of Great Grandparents as well.  We drove home for Christmas Eve service and Santa visited overnight so we opened gifts at home Christmas morning.  Later that day we hit the road again for our last leg of the trip to celebrate with the Young's.  Merry Christmas!
