Christmas In Minnesota

What I learned from our week in Minnesota for Christmas.
1) Red eye flights have way less kids on them.
     a) Ours did great.
     b) Less kids is not a good reason to book a red eye.
2) 6am playdates can go surprisingly well. We had a great visit with Jenny, Jim, Laura and Adam.. And bonus Aunt Kim!

 

3) Not sleeping for an entire night is much harder on me than it used to be- and it never was that easy.
4) Even when it is 40 degrees warmer than usual Minnesota is cold in the winter.
5) No matter how much grocery shopping is done before arrival daily trips to the store may be necessary.
