December 25 - 29, 2011
As per tradition our family traveled east this week to celebrate Christmas with my mom’s family. It was fitting that on the celebrated day of Christ's birth I saw one of the most amazing sunrises I've ever seen. I wasn't able to get a great picture of it through the plane window but the photo below provides the general idea of the scene surrounding Mt. Hood.
Our travels Christmas day were quite smooth and we even got in a little early allowing us to join our cousin at her place for Christmas dinner. The highlight of dinner was the newest addition to the Thornburg family. “Santa”, as the kitten is currently known, is a super cute three month old orange tabby. On the 26th we had our traditional celebration at Granny’s house. A very nice time appeared to be had by all. On Tuesday Jason, Joyce and I made our usual trek to the Franklin Mills Outlet Mall. The mall was actually pretty calm this year. We left without witnessing a single domestic violence dispute. Wednesday mom and I went shopping with Ben and Leah at the Cherry Hill mall. Nobody bought much of anything but we had fun people watching. After finally having some Jersey pizza for dinner back at Granny’s house, a bunch of us went bowling. Jason and I both played pretty well. He rolled 186 and I had a 213. Thursday morning I was up early to catch my 6 AM flight. I came back a few days before the family, so I’d have a day at home to wrap up end of year business before taking off for the Rose Bowl.
I'm off to LA in two days!
