This Years Ornaments

We acquired 5 new ornaments this year. They hang on our second (memory) tree.  

L-R. Snowflake from Frozen, Hoan from YaYa's bf Alex, MJ hat from Cirque du Soleil's ONE (Mandalay Bay), Titanic ship of dreams (Luxor), and orange couch from Friends exhibit in Chicago for my 47th bday.

Lisa loves the memories ornaments bring!

Family Update #2

Family Updates

Got a dog, his name is Huckleberry! He loves to steal food and go on walks.  Lost Custard the cat. RIP Baby Girl. We had a wonderful few years with her.

A Christmas Present from YaYa - Family Update #1

For Christmas my oldest daughter Grace - known here as YaYa in her youth, when the anonymity of the kids was vital - compiled a series of updates for this blog, each showcasing the recent events of our lives. I hope you enjoy!!

Dan & Lisa

Both Dan & Lisa have had a busy year.  They celebrated their 25th anniversary in Las Vegas, a long overdue trip that they enjoyed very much. Dan finally shaved his hair, and Melissa treated herself to trendy haircuts and microbladed brows.

The Tradition Continues

 What would a Christmas be without seeing my favorite movie,  It's a Wonderful Life? 

Merry Christmas Eve!

This bakery, btw (the former Canfora) is pretty darn good!

Daddy's on Bluemound

My wife and I were lucky enough to enjoy both breakfast and lunch at Daddy's on Bluemound yesterday. The breakfast platters are affordable, tasted wonderful and are very large (we split a breakfast and were full - and I'm a big boy.) For lunch the BLT was ok but nothing special, but the catfish - breaded with cornmeal and served with fries - my oh my, I'd order that as my last meal on Earth.

The Christmas Light Show at the State Fair Expo Building

Mom gifted Alex & I tickets to go see the indoor Christmas light set up at the State Fair Expo Building. It was super enjoyable, I’d recommend it for anyone looking for some cute Christmas pics - YaYa

Thanks for the tickets! - Caitlin and Danny
