Christmas Weekend in Indy, 2017 – Part 3: Cinnamon Rolls, Midnight Service at St. John’s
Attending this service is something all the relatives in town would do, accompanying my Grandma Phoebe. Since she passed, it wasn’t clear if we would be going again.
My dad decided he wanted to attend, and so the two of us decided to go by ourselves.
Christmas Weekend in Indy, 2017 – Part 2: Visiting Sears, an Old Treat, and Lights at the Brickyard
There were some ok exhibits, and some less than stellar exhibits. To be honest, I enjoyed things most when we were all making fun of the lights.
Christmas Weekend in Indy, 2017 – Part 1
Liz and I spent a slow day getting ready for a weekend away. After packing, we hit the road in the late afternoon – but not before stopping at Vanille, to pick up a few treats.

I didn’t take a ton of photos today. But it was a slow, relaxing, lazy kind of day – so that may have contributed to it.

Bob’s Birthday Dinner, Christmas at DePaul
After a few songs, some of the organizers moved everyone back into the vestibule. They needed to clear space for the choir, who would eventually walk down the main aisle, and circle the entire room a few times, before eventually proceeding onto the stage.
New Floors, a Nerd Challenge, and a Late Christmas in Valpo
Liz and I trekked over to Valpo late in the afternoon today. We were slated to help move some furniture, to get the home TV/Internet wired up again, and to exchange Christmas gifts. Wtih everyone’s holiday travel plans, coupled with the fact that Julie and Bob were getting new floors – the timing just hadn’t been good for us to get together, until this weekend.
Christmas Day in Indianapolis, 2016
Jahnu opening up a pretty sweet Nerf bow/arrow set. You may also notice that he’s changed into another gift (a Griffindor Quiddich outfit, from Harry Potter).
Cooking Chinese Dumplings with Mom, Christmas Eve, Indianapolis
A delicious meal of dumplings, pot stickers, and fried rice. If I was asked to manifest my childhood as a single meal, this would be it.
Beasts of Balance in Indianapolis
Liz and I arrived on Friday to spend the Christmas weekend with my family in Indianapolis. Though I originally purchased Beasts of Balance for myself… I decided that it would be better as a gift to my niece and nephew.
FIGS Christmas Card, 2016
In addition to how awesomely creative the cards are (check out the one from last year), the physical card I receive from Ian and his family is a reminder of those bygone times. And of all these talented people I know, spread out all over the world.
The House and the Holidays
Liz did a lot of decorating last week, making our under-construction house feel more in the spirit of things. It’s been amazing how much cozier things feel now, with the slight glow of some holiday lights.
A Last, Lazy Day in Frankfort
On our last day in Frankfort, we had a very slow and relaxing day. Slept in, and spent most of the day watching movies in the living room.
