We visited for a few hours, had lunch and then it was time to head home. Hopefully it won't be so long the next time.

Friday was all about cooking and getting the stuff together to take to Linda's for Christmas Day.
Saturday morning got the cab over and headed out. We were heading to Russell's house first so we went Interstate 80 and that sucked. Between the big rigs and chain control that backed up for a long time, we figured we went like 3/4 of a mile in about an hour. Of course there were accidents because people don't know how to drive for the conditions, but we got there. Because it took so long, no time for lunch..next time tuna sandwiches so we can eat while we're stuck..Then we headed to Georgetown and visited with Bryan and family for a bit and then headed for Cool. By the time we got there Eric and family were home from visiting Christina's family in Antelope.
Christina had ordered a Honey Baked ham and some turkey breast, through together some veggies and rolls and i had brought mashed potatoes. It was a yummy dinner. A little visiting and then it was time to head to the camper to wait for the morning to come and see what Santa brought.
So about 0445 we headed in to get some coffee. Mason, Eric and Chris were up and then Seth. The boys enjoyed opening their gifts and then at 0545 Eric had to head for work. Got ourselves ready (pancakes for the boys) and we took a quick run to Bryan's to see their loot.

Late in the afternoon we visited with Ken's mom and then headed back up to Cool for the night.
Monday morning we got ourselves ready and headed for Highway 50 and had a beautiful drive to Minden, where of course we had to visit Carson Valley Inn for lunch. Yum. Then home.

Today I took the Christmas stuff down inside and got it put away for next year. The boys are coming on Friday, so figured this would be the only time to get it done. Tomorrow Ken and I will run to Walmart in Gardnerville for some grocery shopping. He'll run it home and i'll head for Antelope for a few days.
Thursday morning Russell and Lori and their friends Jenn and Steve are heading for Denver and the Broncos / Raiders game on New Years Day. Jacob has a Basketball tournament so i'll be taking him Thursday and Friday to Placer High in Auburn. After basketball on Friday, we'll head home to Yerington.
The way school district schedules are i'll have to run Aaron home on Monday as he has school on Tuesday. The other boys can stay until the weekend if they want. Jacob, Seth, Aaron and Mason are coming for sure and Adam will probably drive over weather permitting. Fun times ahead.
