Christmas in Sioux Falls area

We spent Christmas with Ron's daughter's family who lives by Sioux Falls. The dogs always greet you when you arrive - it's hard to take their picture, but I succeeded here! Embracing the frigid weather, we walked through the Christmas-tree-lighted park to see the beautiful Sioux Falls, which had special illumination for Christmas. The wind was so cold it took your breath away, but the walk was worth it! I took a picture of the girls and Ron, and another one of Katelynd and Jana. Myra was a trooper, running as if it wasn't cold at all! We had a lovely time visiting. Snow fell quite heavily Christmas Day, so it was definitely a white Christmas! We left early Wednesday for home; the roads were really slippery and the ice fog coated the car antenna so it swayed wildly; the windshield iced up and I tried to clear it with blue juice - a big mistake, it smeared everything up. So anyhow, after some jittery driving in the fog behind the snow plow, we made it to Mitchell in 2 hours, the sun came up and the roads were dry and clear all the way home. Whew! Well, next post will hopefully be from warmer climes! Until then.
