It's very unusual for all of my family to be away from the farm together for more than one day, but I'd say that Christmas came early for me when the Arkansas ice and snow storm was delayed and allowed our plans to happen.
Although we didn't travel to Chicago together, I did get to spend one full day with my sons and my Mother enjoying the sights and sounds of the big city
and
one snowy evening walking around Chicago with Ryan.
I'm thankful for these special times with my family and for each day down on the dairy farm.
