Christmas In South Dakota

Hope you all had a great Christmas and that the New Year has started out with a bang! We enjoyed our Christmas with our new little family. We did lots of traveling to see family and friends in South Dakota but Taylor was a little trooper so it made life much easier. We started out with a 9 hour road trip to my grandparents house in Chamberlain. Taylor only got fussy a couple of times but never cried. We stopped twice to feed her and then continued on our way. We couldn't have asked for a better trip (unless we could change the scenery...Nebraska ain't very purty!) We spent a couple of days with my grandparents and family then continued on our way to Pierre to see John's family. We had a great time with everyone there. Lots of eating, playing games, golfing, 4-wheeling adventures (poor Toddy Vik!), etc. Good Times! After a couple of days there we finished our trip at my parents house in Spearfish. We were hoping for a couple of relaxing days while we were there but we thought wrong. It felt like we were running constantly to go see friends and family and we still didn't get to see everyone. Taylor got to meet John's grandparents and lots of new friends while we were there. By the end we were all exhausted. The little bug was a trooper through it all. We had a great time seeing everyone but we were very happy to be home and back on a semi-schedule. :)
I wasn't very good at taking pictures on this trip but here's a few....
