Christmas #2

After Christmas with the Jacoby's I drove home to celebrate Christmas with my family.  It was lots of fun because Elise, Jim and Emmett were there.  It was nice to spend time with them.  I spent a lot of time with Emmett playing and reading books.  He always amazes me as how smart he is.  Mark rode the train in for New Years and we picked him up at the train station which Emmett loved since there was trains and his buddy Mark.  Mark and I hung out with my family and their friends until about 9:30 when my parents dropped us off downtown.  It was interesting to see the bar side of Corvallis.  I really enjoyed going to Block 15 which is a brewery.  Both Mark and I like to taste different beers.  It was sad to leave family and go back to school, however we both knew we were only going to be there for a week before flying to Arizona for the BCS National Championship
