Since most places were closed on Christmas Day and we needed something to do with 9 children, we went to Turkey Mountain for a hike.

I took some of them on a “short cut” which probably was not shorter by the time I was done.

I think I should stay away from the upper trails there and stick to what I know.

I then proceeded to go to the theater with my sister in-law on Christmas day.

Just us.

I enjoyed it, although I was left with more questions then answers…

I did question my choice of a crowded theater for my first alone time in a while…

This Christmas was so different then previous ones.

It still had the important things though, family and being outside.
