Home and Away for the Holidays

When it comes to the holidays in my family, you can't just meet everybody for one big gathering. It takes a bit to hit all the hot spots and hand deliver holiday cheer. But we managed to see everyone at some point between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day. We spent Thanksgiving with my brother and his family in Ann Arbor then moved over to see Eric's parents for Black Friday, which in the Zuzek household, is a holiday in and of itself.
Christmas was spent in various spots in Sturgis to visit with my family, including a birthday celebration for Miss Violet and a visit from my half-brothers.

Violet turns 1!

We traveled back to see the Zuzeks (and their local Chinese buffet) before getting away to Cleveland (of all places) to celebrate New Year's and take in the Steelers last regular season game. The game was a cold one, but with a brand new Steelers blanket from Eric's parents and a blow-out win, it was a little more tolerable.


It's very cold in Cleveland in January...just in case you were wondering.
