Christmas 2009 was a great time of family and fun. After a VERY hectic work week, and everything needed to get the radio stations ready for us to getaway for a few days, we made it it Appleton by early Christmas Eve. Danielle's brother Geoff had driven from Minnesota for the weekend, so the Derk's family was all together for the holiday. We enjoyed many great homemade meals, and lot's of fun. We went to the movies on Christmas Day to see the new Robert Downey Jr. movie "Sherlock Holmes"...it was a good movie. It was an ole' school CSI without Grissom. We napped throughout the weekend, so catching up on sleep was a thoughtful gift from Santa. Saturday night, we enjoyed the company of Steve and Gail, who are from Kentucky. Rick & Lynn spend time with them in KY each year.

We left Sunday to come back home, and since we need to stop every 45 minutes, we stopped at Burger King in Slinger, WI for some lunch. After we finished, we made an unplanned trip to an attraction that can be seen below.

This weekend, we spent time in Crown Point Indiana at my parents new home for the first on numerous baby showers for Danielle and Edie. Lots of family we on hand and their support and generosity were overwhelming. Below are pics from the event.
