#22- Home-town Holidays


We headed up North on the 23rd for the night to Eric's hometown, wee little Allenford. Which isn't so little anymore, the Nickason's are expanding!
What a drive... Rosie slept about half an hour and Isaac barely blinked for the 2 1/2 hour trek. at least he wasn't screaming the whole way like the olden days:)
The drive slowed down as Eric paused to show Isaac and Rosie his 'ol stompin' grounds.
We got there a-ok though! Eric went to watch his nephew Max play hockey that night, and the next morning we went out to Owen Sound to visit our old friend Tylor who is back in the area, It was good to see him as we haven't since our wedding in 2007. I met Eric through my old friend Tylor, he's a special guy to us:) 
That afternoon was CHRISTMAS AT THE NICKASON'S! As you can see below, quite a pahtay.

Lots of fun and good to visit with Eric's family who we don't get to see very often since they live so far...

And as we were leaving that Christmas Eve...it started to snow:) Allenford will have a white Christmas after all.
